Sahara

Sahara is a side character in The Executioner and Her Way of Life. She is a former nun who was influenced by the Mechanical Society to commit numerous taboos.

Appearance
Sahara has wavy silver hair that goes down to her shoulders and blue half-closed eyes. She wears a nun's outfit.

History
As a child, Sahara was indirectly saved by Flare from captivity, which caused her to admire Flare and want to be like her. She was brought to the same monastery where Menou would train thanks to her high aptitude for Guiding Force/ Ether, where she trained to become an Executioner.

Once Flare announced all the students in the monastery would be released, Sahara transferred to a normal monastery, where she trained to be a priestess. However, she never completed her training, instead remaining a nun while transferring to the front lines of defense against the Mechanical Society in the eastern Wild Frontier.

Eventually, Sahara started being influenced by the Mechanical Society and became obsessed with leveling up. She became self-destructive, challenging Genom Cthulha and losing. He felt bad for her and spared her life, giving her a prosthetic in place of the right arm he ripped off her. She fled the eastern Wild Frontier when the priestesses there noticed the Mechanical Society's influence on her.

After hearing about Menou's achievements, Sahara makes a plan to kill her. She pretends to be her ally, letting her tire herself out by fighting against the criminal group Iron Chain, after which she returns to attempt to finish her off. Menou was stronger however, and once Sahara is on the verge of being defeated, she gives into the Pure Concept of Vessel, becoming possessed and turning to a conjured soldier that looks just like Menou.

When the conjured soldier is defeated, Sahara's soul and spirit stayed intact, fusing into Menou's scripture. She is later released from it by Pandæmonium, who gives her a new body, resembling her old one.

Personality
Sahara is a deeply jealous, overly sarcastic and impulsive person, and she hates herself for it. She strives to become someone special, reasoning that if she were stronger, she would surely be kinder. This causes her to despise Menou, who she sees as the person she should be.
