Agnese Sanctis

Agnese Sanctis (アニェーゼ＝サンクティス) is a Roman Catholic Church nun who leads a paramilitary force called Agnese Forces. A girl with a troubled past, her devotion to her religion makes her out to be a totally ruthless leader against enemies. She is first introduced in Toaru Majutsu no Index as an antagonistic character, but later reforms and joins Necessarius, and is a representative of Roman Catholicism in England.

Appearance
Agnese looks a year or two younger than Index, but still around the same height. She appears extremely thin, as her slim waist was even slimmer than Index's, who was rather thin herself.

Her reddish hair is tied into with multiple pencil-thin braids, which from a distance bear an uncanny resemblance to dreadlocks. She wears the standard Roman Catholic Church robes. The sleeves being so long that it nearly covers her fingers, the hem of her robes however is short enough for her thighs to be exposed, this is due to the fact that she unzipped and removed the rest of lower of half of her robes, zippers being part of the ensemble.

She wears platformed shoes called chopine which have 30cm thick soles. She usually wears them over her usual form of footwear and during combat they can be removed to enable better movement. Despite walking on it, she insists on wearing them as she says that it is her sense of beauty.

Agnese also wears a Roman Catholic cross on her neck.

Childish nature
Agnese, when not on duty, acts like other girls her age. She is clumsy, particularly due to her choice of footwear, which she refers to as her own style; she gets embarrassed when something lewd happens to her, such as when Touma fell between her thighs; and is afraid of slugs. Like many people from the magic side, she is intimidated and somewhat impaired by technology, such as when the washing machine she uses goes haywire after stuffing an entire futon into it.

Agnese also does not like the idea on having to converse with someone who is foreigner using the foreigner's native language, opting that she would rather have them converse in other tongues. Indeed, Touma describes her way of speaking Japanese as strange, and is referenced as a mix of Japanese polite honorifics and rude words, and is thought by Stiyl Magnus as someone who has learned Japanese from talking mostly to detectives or police officers.

She also apparently sleeps in her underwear, and walks and talks in her sleep, though this has only been seen once.

As the leader of the Agnese Forces
She is extremely devoted to the cause of her Church, using deceit on others such as when she tricked Touma and the Anglican Church to handing Orsola Aquinas to her, and blindly following the dogma of her Church, such as when she puts Orsola through a mock Trial of Sin. She despises all magicians despite them being present and calling magic as Christian Black Magic, though uses magic as well, justifying her magic as part of her Church's history, and deems all non-Roman Catholics as animals. Orsola references this as part of her doubts and supersitions as being a Roman Catholic, which extends to all of the members of her group.

Orsola references that Agnese actions are based on doubts not on faith and trust. Indeed, after being cornered by Touma, Stiyl Magnus with his Innocentius, and the Amakusa-Remix Style of Church, there was doubt in the Agnese Forces if they could turn the situation to their favor, and doubted Agnese capacity to defeat Touma, whom hesitated with her actions.

She is a ruthless leader when it comes towards enemies of the Church, whose followers has shown to be loyal to her completely, willing to cause mutilation, and beat a defenseless woman for her. Despite her doubts and their faults, she has a kind of trust towards each other, especially to Lucia and Angelene, knowing that they will do their job. With regards to allies from other sects or organizations, she has no problem in deceiving them, giving limited information, and embellishing the truth. Her personality against enemies make her out to be a sadists who loves toying and making others suffer, as experienced by both Orsola and Touma.

As member of Necessarius
She reforms later after being defeated and then later saved by Touma, after the events of the La Regina del Mare Adriatico. She joins Necessarius, and remains the leader of her forces, as well as remain Roman Catholic, severing her connection with Vatican which scapegoated them and then use them as tools. Now, she has shown that she is more carefree, befitting that of a child. She is shown that she can be strung along with other girls' shenanigans, such as Orsola suggesting that they wash the clothes that they are currently wearing, play cards with her friends,, as well as being referred to as a girl who likes flipping others' skirts but hates getting her's flipped.

Despite this, she still have shades of sadism as one Knight of England discovers, but more importantly, her loyalty to her comrades remain intact.

Background
Agnese lived in Milan, Italy during her childhood. Her parents were killed for reasons unknown during a very young age, and became a street urchin living on whatever scraps of food she could find. She was later taken in by the Roman Catholic Church along with a number of other girls, where she eventually meets with Lucia and Angelene and became close friends with them. Here, she becomes devoted to Roman Catholicsm, and decides to make the Church the were in more comfortable.

It is unknown how, but Agnese later gains or forms a unique Roman Catholic paramilitary force named after her. A great achievement at her young age, and somehow takes hold of the Lotus Wand.

After deceiving the representatives of the Anglican Church (Stiyl and Index) and Touma into defeating the Amakusa, Agnese takes Orsola to the church that was constructed on Orsola's behalf. There, she physically abuses Orsola for being problematic.

Touma later defeats her singlehandedly with the help of Stiyl, Index, and the Amakusa Christians (who agreed to assist them).

As food is prepared, Kaori talks about the probelmatic washing machine, but Agnese tries to change the subject, telling her that they should focus on the food. She later witnesses Angelene try one of Kaori's umeboshi, whom is overwhelmed by its sour taste.

She, Lucia, Agata, and Caterina, are later seen playing cards as Kaori introduces Sasha Kreutzev to them, who wants to know what sides they are going to take in the war. Agnese later listens to Orsola as she gives her opinion regarding the matter to which she says that they will do remains the same, and that is to help people even if there is war, and references Touma being able to save people even without power. Orsola concludes that it is not up to the whole to decide which path to take, but it is up to the individual members, and states that there should be a third option where there is a happy ending where no one is defeated, for the sake of Touma's expectations.

Agnese later returns to the changing room to face the terror of the washing machine. She screams, alerting Kaori who discovers and deems that the washing machine is trying its best to wash the futon Agnese stuffed in there.

Ridovia tells them that it seemed that God's Right Seat is a group working to obtain victory over original sin, surprising both Agnese and Stiyl. As Ridovia mentions that there is someone who does not have the original, Agnese asks who it is, to which Stiyl glares as a response. It is revealed to be the Holy Virgin Mary.

British Royal Family Arc

 * Main article:British Royal Family Arc

Agnese Sanctis appears after the terrorist incident in Sky Bus 365, where Touma and Index were flying on. She is in Scotland with her group, telling Kaori on the phone on how they are investigating the group that had prevented the emergency landing so they could use the highway to head from Scotland to England. Agnese talks to Kaori about her suspicions on the involvement of Cabal Reserve Armies, and the fact that they have at least figured out who is involved to some extent. Agnese says that the details are unclear but states that the Cabal Reserve Army seemed to have planned ahead of times, and that they have discovered suspicions actions with regards to purchases in retailers of unnatural equipment. Agnese says that the group is called New Light, a magic cabal pretending to be a Cabal Reserve Army, and tells Kaori that she will send the data regarding them to her later.

Kaori then asks about their orders, to which Agnese says that they went there but they were too late. Agnese details that it was an excellent place to set-up for a spiritual item, had a Norse "smell" to it, and that she has found maps of London, and the locations of its myriad security cameras. Agnese suggests to seal the roads and set-up inspection points in order to trap the magic cabal. But Kaori states that it would be detrimental as it would seal off the internal shipping routes, with the country already with limited supplies. Agnese tries to protest, but Kaori relieves her of her worries. She then asks what New Light is after and what they intend to do. Agnese replies that New Light has apparently been excavating something in Scotland, where an old fortress used to be, and Kaori assumes that it must've been a spritual item. Agnese mentions to Kaori that they have left a memo, saying that today would be the day they change England, which Kaori believes does not imply something peaceful. Kaori later instructs Agnese to continue their investigation in New Light's headquarters, to which Agnese complies.

After Itsuwa and Sherry Cromwell discover that New Light is using Skíðblaðnir to transport something, Sherry suggests to her to contact Agnese. Agnese, receives the new information from Itsuwa, and states that they will now proceed to search information regarding New Light's plans through what Itsuwa discovered, and asks to confirm if they had only taken out 1 of the four members of New Light. Itsuwa tells Agnese not to worry as Kanzaki Kaori had just beaten another member.

In a yacht harbor in Edinburgh, Scotland, finding another of New Light's bases, a boat left on the asphalt. After being disappointed on how all information regarding New Light's actions have been carefully erased, one of the nuns from her group notifies her from inside the boat that they have found a prototype of the case (Skíðblaðnir). The fact that the magic item has not been erased by them in person but remotely, which would imply that their plan has been hastened. Agnese then asks the nun what the power of the case, which is that it can allow for an item inside it to pass between the four cases they have, presuming it to be a bomb, but Angelene says that the excavated item may have been the item in the cases.

Suddenly, Sister Caterina calls out to her in and gives her a parchment, shocking Agnese. She later calls Kamijou Touma on his mobile phone, and says that New Light's final target is one of the princesses in Folkestone terminal that is investigating the Eurotunnel, the perfect opportunity to assassinate the princesses. Agnese then says that there is a large-scale spell that activates when a member of the British Royal Family dies, an attack spell that creates destruction on a national level that was originally intended to use against England's enemies in Europe, and is powerful enough to change the Earth's crust and cause other natural disasters within England, too. Touma asks Agnese why the United Kingdom has not been destroyed despite the deaths of royalty, to which Agnese states that it is due to last rites, and that it may have been applied to royalty back then to avoid catastrophe, and that all royalty who died within the castle or were executed all had their last rites performed. However, this does not include sudden death in battle or an assassination where the last rites could not be carried out. Touma then tells Agnese about whether or not the princesses can be protected by their Traveling Fortress, to which Agnese says that there is a security hole where it can be determined where the fortress is and if the door is opened via transmitter, and Agnese doubts that's the only thing that was tampered with on the fortress. Agnese concludes that there is still a lot of unknowns, but tells Touma that they need to restrain the remaining members. Touma ends his call with her, and is continues chasing after Lessar.

English Civil War
As the English Civil War begins, the Knights of England surround the Agnese Forces. One of the knights tell them that they should surrender or else they would be killed, as he draws his sword upon Agnese's neck. She smiles, and shows no fear. She strikes her Lotus Wand on the ground at her feet, enveloping the area in a bright light for 5 seconds, allowing for the 250 nuns to escape, and forcing the knights to make a search.

It is later revealed that they jumped into the ocean, and is with Angelene and Lucia. Lucia states that they are on their own as they cannot contact London. Agnese states that the other nuns would be most likely be captured, and is most likely going to be transported to England where Princess Carissa, the prime instigator of the attempt of a coup d'etat on the United Kingdom, will be. Agnese says that they need to rescue the captured nuns while they are being transported.

Agnese, Lucia, and Angelene, infiltrate a ten car train that was heading from Edinburgh to London, where the nuns of their group that have been captured and are being transported. Agnese discovers that there in the middle of the series of cars, and discovers that the nuns are kept in the front cars while the knights are all in the back. Seeing the opportunity, Lucia and Angelene attack the guards through the window, as so to confuse them that the attack is coming from a sniper. With this, Agnese begins to try and destroy the links between the carriages, allowing for them and the nuns to leave the knights behind. Suddenly, a knight comes along and using the communication spiritual item, and Agnese is forced to hide. Here, she overhears, and is overjoyed, that Touma has snuck aboard the freight heading for Folkestone. The three of the attack at the same time, but the knight blocks Angelene and Lucia's attacks. However, Agnese uses her Lotus Wand to destroy attack the floor, and add to the weight of the knight's armor, making the knight fall into it, trapping him. Stuck, Agnese can now do as she pleases, though the knight is still protected by Curtana Original's blessing, weakening attacks. Despite this, Agnese attacks the knight using her Lotus Wand directed towards his crotch. As Lucia and Angelene discusses what is happening with Touma, they then see Agnese actually enjoying bringing forth suffering on the hapless knight using her Lotus Wand. Seeing that Agnese is in her "naughty mood", Angelene becomes worried, but Lucia tells her that Agnese is a type of girl who likes flipping skirts but doesn't like getting her skirt flipped. They the proceed to calm her down.

As Touma and Index rendezvous with the rest of the Amakusa, Kaori reports that Sherry Cromwell is battling the knights, and that Agnese forces are battling other knights as well.

Apparently, Agnese was successful with her plan, and they, gather with Necessarius for a last supper before they catch the hell. As they eat, the Amakusa begins to argue about Maid Outfits that piques the interest of Angelene, prompting her to ask Agnese. She concludes that it is a contest to see who is the most mature by seeing who makes the sexiest maid, and states that even though they have 250 nuns at their disposal they have no one with excessive breasts. She and Angelene turn towards Lucia, the one with the largest breast in their group, to which she firmly refuses after Agnese suggests in her donning the Little Devil Flirting Maid.

During the battle between Kamijou Touma and Kanzaki Kaori against Princess Carissa, the Agnese Forces, Amakusa Remix-style of Church, and Orsola Aquinas with Sherry Cromwell and her golem. Initially shocked by the level of battle Carissa and Kaori were fighting, she and the rest of the lot assist Kaori in trying to take down Carissa, but is unable to penetrate her defenses. The Griffin Sky mobile fortresses however arrive as her reinforcements, and rain lances upon Sherry's golem, knocking her out of the fight, and the debris threatening to crush the rest of the forces. After a bunker cluster missile was shot towards London, Touma tries to call out to his Anglican Church comrades, Agnese being one of them, but cannot find any trace of them.

World War III Arc

 * Main article:World War III Arc

Agnese survives the civil war but is then drawn to another. Before the Battle of Dover Strait, Agnese notes on how the world has changed, and later notes that it is 100% perfectly accurate to say that French forces are going to invade England through Dover Strait, which was confirmed immediately afterwards, as 1000 French magicians walk on the sea's surface by solidifying it. The ships and their tactics now rendered useless, Kaori and the Amakusa begin their battle against the French, and are later joined by Princess Carissa.

As the battle continues, the forces of England continue to push forward. The Agnese forces uses Kaori's abilities to their advantage, using her as a decoy and at times supporting her, like the Amakusa Church. They also use their intimate knowledge in Roman Catholicism to counter their magic. They later witness the arrival of the Moble Fortress Glastonbury and the ensuing clash between Carissa and the Maiden of Versailles.

With the battle done, and as explosions thunder across the continent, the Agnese forces race towards the Russian battlefield where both Academy City and Russian soldiers have collapsed. Agnese orders the nuns skilled in Ex Voto to set up the shelters for the people needing rescue, and get the heavily wounded out via helicopters. The nuns then witness another Golden Arm pop-up nearby, which is later cleanly cut down by Kanzaki Kaori, shocking the soldiers present.

Homecoming Arc

 * Main article:Homecoming Arc

Agnese survives the war, and is in St. George's Cathedral, and reports to Kanzaki Kaori on the information regarding the mysterious floating cross-shaped object in the upper atmosphere that is moving towards Eurasia, which she has dubbed as Radiosonde Castle for convenience sake. Agnese says that the fortress started floating up from Iceland, and there are now people focusing their investigation there. Agnese says to Kaori on how they should interfere with the lift of the object, making it fall slowly back into Earth. Kaori asks Agnese on how she should be able to get there as airplanes cannot fly that high up, and rockets will only pass on unhindered. Agnese says that Laura Stuart is currently discussing with the Science side on a means of interfering with Radiosonde Castle, which implies they have to stay put until it is decided.

Agnese later contacts Kaori after she lands on Radiosonde Castle. Here, she helps with the calculations needed for the castle to fall in a safe location, and instructs Kaori to destroy one of the balloons that's keeping it up in order to determine how much lift it loses. Kaori continues to converse with Agnese as she does her mission, regarding the similarities of the castle with that of the Star of Bethlehem, and its apparent purpose. As Kaori arrives in the lowest level, Agnese continues to instruct her and warns her of anything dangerous, and tells Kaori on how they are above Eurasia, and has been given permission by the Russian Orthodox Church to drop the castle on a wilderness. After Kaori takes out one balloon, Agnese reports that it has caused a change in the castle's altitude, and tells Kaori on how she should not destroy the balloons in a flashy manner as they cannot undo what would happen if the rate of descent has been increased. Agnese continues to instruct Kaori on the proper method on putting the holes on the balloons. Agnese continues to instruct and inform Kaori of her actions during her stay in the Radiosonde Castle, and as one of the balloons have caused a significant drop in lift, Agnese tells Kaori on how they can only drop it in the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly, Kaori then realizes that the castle will be passing Japan, specifically, Academy City. Kaori tells Agnese that she needs to calculate a more circuitous route, and tells Agnese that if the castle was constructed to be dropped on something, then the likely target would be Academ City. Before Agnese can respond, the line is cut by magic, and Kaori is forced to face Mjölnir.

After the combined efforts of Kamijou Touma, Accelerator, and Hamazura Shiage, to force the castle to fall into the ocean, Agnese restores contact with Kanzaki Kaori, and tells her that the crisis have been averted, and the only thing to do now is to gather information on who perpetrated the fall of Radiosonde Castle. Agnese tells Kaori to gather information before any hints disappear.

Lance of Gungnir Arc

 * Main article:Lance of Gungnir Arc

Prior to the start of the arc, the Agnese Forces have made efforts in trying to go back to the Roman Catholic Church now that the war has ended and that tensions between Anglicans and the Catholics have lessened. As part of this process, Agnese, Lucia, and Angelene are part of the security personnel for the conference called upon by Roberto Katze.

Here, they are in the United Nations Building's library, checking out documents for any magic power that has been hidden inside. With hundreds of pages to check, Agnese begins complaining, saying that if they're really afraid of an attack from GREMLIN then they should stop anyone from bringing published items during the meeting. Lucia says that doing such a thing under their authority would cause problems, as the UN is fundamentally neutral and if a single religion began selecting what published materials could be brought inside, it could lead to an international issue. Angelene speaks up saying that normal people don't understand the danger of the problem they're dealing with. Agnese then asks what they think about the united attack on GREMLIN. Lucia says that it all hinges on whether they can locate Sargasso, and says that the key to it is the spy who has slipped into GREMLIN. Angelene wonders if that spy will send a signal from Sargasso and their search team could detect it. Agnese sighs, wondering if they can trust the spy. Lucia replies saying that since the spy has a way to sneak into GREMLIN's headquarters, it would make him suspicious. Angelene tries to defend they spy, saying that the spy has no reason to betray them, but is replied by Agnese that it's more accurate to say that GREMLIN has no reason to make a bluff like that right now. Lucia then says on how they have no choice but to trust the spy because they want the same thing.

Lucia then states that if even they find Sargasso there is still the matter of the unified attack, they still need to fight expert magicians and says that she doubts they are enemy they can defeat without sacrifices. Agnese reminds them that GREMLIN is in hiding, therefore they believe it is to their advantage to remain hidden. Here, she assumes that at least locating Sargasso will crush one of GREMLIN's advantages. Angelene hopes nothing bad will come out of it, comparing it to a metaphor of poking a bush and having a snake come out.

Shifting and Fluctuating World
In the final recreation of the world by Othinus created specifically to break Touma's spirit, known as the Version_Omega world in-text, where several characters from the original world have been "saved" or have not experienced great tragedy, Agnese Sanctis' parents are alive and well. Touma sees them having a picnic in the park where Othinus put Touma in after recreating the world.

Toaru Majutsu no Index-tan
Agnese debuts in the third episode, here in a parody of the final battle scene in episode 5 of the Toaru Majutsu no Index II anime, she confronts Stiyl Magnus with his giant Innocentius, and is horrified when he throws his cigarette on the floor as there are many cigarette butts in France. Stiyl then tells his "Hyper" Innocentius to attack, to which all the other nuns present that he shouldn't use that indoors as they scream. In the immediate next sketch, Agnese takes the form of Agnese-tan and is on top of Angelene, who is walking with Touma who has Index-tan on top of his head. After grunting a few times, Agnese-tan complains that Index was supposed to be the only one who was turned small during this episode. Index-tan finally finishes eating and states that Agnese-tan is correct and because of that her appeal may go down a bit. Agnese-tan smugly sighs and mocks the anime. As a response, Agnese-tan uses her Lotus Wand to attack Touma's crotch. Apparently hurt yet still standing because of this, Touma turns to Agnese-tan to be careful as he got hurt down "there". As Index-tan talks to Touma, he asks an uncaring Agnese-tan to give a follow-up instead of staying silent. Agnese-tan however states that she has already talked plenty.

Finally, Index-tan speaks up and asks Touma if he got distracted because of Agnese-tan. Not waiting for an answer, Index-tan begins pulling his hair and saying "get bald" and "idiot". Meanwhile, Agnese-tan is annoyed that she been misunderstood because of Touma, and begins using her Lotus wand again and again.

In a wonderful evening, Touma walks with Angelene (who hasn't said a thing) with the two midgets on top of their heads, while being attack and apparently indifferent to the aforementioned midgets' attacks on him

Lotus Wand
Agnese primary weapon is the Lotus Wand (蓮の杖 (ロータスワンド) ), a metallic religious staff with an angel statue on the head that allows her to channel the other elemental weapons through the principles of Idol Theory via making it represent the ether element. The staff allows her to create invisible blunt force attacks on an opponent, or a cutting attack, depending on the damage done on the staff, such as hitting the staff for the former and sliding a blade on it for the latter.

Despite the delay of the command before the action could take place, Agnese is wont of the staff and knows how to wield it properly during combat, and adjusts and calculates the position of the target for better use of the staff. Unlike Orsola Aquinas, Agnese does not focus too much on casting, as such she does not tire out when using the staff.

Other magic
As the leader of the Agnese Forces, Agnese needs to have her commands distributed to all of its members. Agnese Sanctis has a notebook that if when written upon it, what was written would appear in similar notebooks, which Index compares to a telephone.

She may also likely know how to apply the Divine Protection of Ægidius.

Design evolution
Agnese Sanctis' overall design remains fairly static throughout the series. Agnese wears the basic Roman Catholic Church nun habit that Haimura design. Here, Haimura designed the zippers upon the sleeves and skirt, allowing for Agnese to wear her short skirt.

For her appearance in the 11th light novel volume, Hamimura designed her to look like a bird with plucked wings.

This is really stupid; those pigs don’t even know how to read the Bible, so how much can you expect from them? According to our law, once someone marries a non-RomanCatholic, they’re guilty of bestiality; you should be clear about that. Don’t tell me that you think that everyone’s like you because they’re Christians? What Amakusa? What British Puritans? Those people don’t have the right to talk about Christ! They aren’t humans, they’re pigs! They’re mules! Of course this will happen when you hand your life over to them. Tricking an animal is so easy! Just appease them, and they’ll automatically turn their prey over!"
