Menou

Menou is the protagonist of The Executioner and Her Way of Life. She is an Executioner, meaning she has the undesirable duty to eliminate any and all Otherworlders that enter her world.

History
She was the sole survivor of a village that was destroyed when an 'Otherworlder' lost control of her powers. She witnessed an executioner, Flare, who would eventually become her Master finish off the 'Otherworlder' before she could inadvertently cause more havoc in the world.

Personality
Menou's soul was 'blanched' during the disaster that happened to her home town, and the only thing she remembered was her name. She grew to have a strong sense of responsibility and sees herself as a villain doing necessary wrongs. For the sake of stability in her world, Menou tries to dispose of Akari before her Pure Concept goes out of control.

Abilities
Menou is an executioner, who kills the stray Japanese that come to her world. Her basic stance is to approach and befriend the stray with her friendly acting, grasp their abilities, and then kill them.

Menou uses a dagger and her scripture as her main weapons. She carries her dagger in a belt on her thigh, so she can grab it whenever it's needed. The scripture is a powerful weapon used with ether (anime)/Guiding Force (light novels), which Menou only has an average amount of, less than most priestesses. For that reason she is a very strategic fighter, and prefers not to rely on raw strenght. She compensates her lack of natural ether when necessary by using it from the Earthen Vein or using Akari's ether.
