Agnese Sanctis

Agnese Sanctis (アニェーゼ＝サンクティス) is a Roman Catholic Church nun who is the main antagonist of Volume 7. She returns in Volume 11 and joins Necessarius.

Appearance
She has red hair tied with multiple braids, which from a distance bears an uncanny resemblence to dreadlocks.

She wears platformed shoes called chopine which are 30cm thick. She usually wears them over her usual form of footwear and during combat may be removed to enable better movement.

Personality
At first looks like a clumsy and scary girl, but when it comes to work, she displays a clear change of personality becoming machinating person who doesn't dare to make sacrifices for the the sake of her goals. Her prefered method of torture is S&M, as demonstrated on a Knight in Volume 18 using her lotus staff to strike his groin and planned to go even further until she was stopped by Luccia and Angelene. Like a number of other girls, she's fallen in love with Touma; though it is debatable whether she is serious or not when she said she loved Touma when he created a diversion (unknowingly) for her to rescue the other nuns captured by the knights.

Orsola Aquinas and the Book of Law Arc
A former Roman Catholic Church nun. She was sent to terminate Orsola Aquinas and the Amakusas, but was defeated.

Volume 11
In Volume 11, she returned as a Roman Catholic Church captive/sacrifice for the spell "Queen of Adriatic Sea" that the church planned to modify and use on Academy City, but was saved by Touma and company. She's now under Necessarius, and is now living together with Kaori, Orsola, Sherry, etc. in a girl's dormitory owned by Necessarius. Before her entry, she was a street urchin living on scraps, then was being taken in by the Roman Catholic Church among other girls, leading to forming her own fighting force and leading 250 nuns who are proficient in magic and combat in general.

Abilities
She wields a Lotus Wand (蓮の杖 (ロータスワンド)), a source of her power. It's a staff with a small six-winged angel piece on the end. The staff takes the place of ceremonial maces the clergy used back in medieval times when they needed to defend themselves. This staff works on the Idol Theory and the theory of the Western idea of "Five Elements," being Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Ether. Being aligned with the element "Ether," this staff can also use the other four elements supposedly, though Agnese hasn't shown spells from the other elements using this staff.

Her power allows her to inflict pain onto her opponents through a similar method to that of voodoo dolls. It's described by Touma as a spatial attack that bypasses physical armour.
