Ricolis Barn (リコリス・バーン, Rikorisu Bān?) was the wife of the Holy Church's Holy Templar Knights Commander Laus Barn.
Appearance[]
Ricolis was a woman with pale blonde hair that was usually braided at the back.
Personality[]
Ricolis presented herself as a supportive wife and mother. However, this all stemmed from her fanatical worship of the Holy Church and its God Ehit. She placed supporting the church as her most important duty, and would gladly give up anything, even her own children, for their sake.
Background[]
Ricolis was born into a prominent family in the Elbard Theocracy. At the behest of Pope Lucifer Slaine Elbard, she was arranged to be married to Laus Barn. Together, they had three sons: Kaime, Selm and Sharm.
Chronology[]
Ricolis and Laus' mother Debra greeted Laus as he returned home from the church one evening. As they were having dinner, Ricolis and Debra addressed Laus' refusal to have another wife, despite their encouragement of him to have more wives in order to give birth to more children that would serve the church and Ehit. Ricolis and Laus' son Sharm attempted to diffuse the tension by brining uo Sharm's lessons from school. During the conversation, Sharm asked his father if certain demons were actually being good people in spite of the church teaching its followers that they were the enemies of their god. This immediately shocked Sharm's family, and while Ricolis was angered at Sharm, Laus encouraged his son to speak up by asking what encouraged him to ask such a question. Sharm explained that he hoped that the demons were good so that both they and Humans would not have to fight each other anymore. Laus got angered after hearing this rational, upon realizing that Ehit had always orchestrated the ongoing wars between the humans and demons. This display of anger scared Ricolis and the others, but Laus came back to his senses and assured Sharm that he was not mad at him.
When Laus was chosen by the church to lead an important mission to capture a beastman from the Haltina Republic who possessed Ancient Magic, his family threw him a celebratory dinner the night before his departure. During their meal, Sharm hesitantly asked his father if it was a sin to befriend beastmen, despite it being decreed so by the church. This quickly prompted Ricoilis to lash out at him and was about hit him, but was stopped by Laus.
After Laus left for his mission to the Haltina Republic, Ricolis and her family visited the Holy Church's main cathedral everyday to pray for his safety. When Laus returned from his mission, he planned to flee the church with his family. Laus arrived at the church to retrieve them, however, he saw Sharm being dragged out in a severely injured state, after having been tortured to submit to Ehit through magical brainwashing, but had managed to resist. He was being dragged out by a pair of knights, while also be accompanied by Ricolis, Debra, Kaime and Self. All of them expressed their disappointment in Sharm for his unwillingness to conform to Ehit's will, and was even beaten further by his mother. In the end, Laus managed to escape with Sharm, alongside Reinheit Ashe.
