== =__The Prioress__= "Mind your manners!" I may be a Prioress, but I have a toatally contradictory personality. I seem to be modest and polite to most people, but I can be ruthless and vindictive. I have a devotion to Mary, but this does not keep me from treating others with cruelty. I have strong feelings against Jewish peopleI ensure that the other nuns understand my postion as the head of the convent, and they know that they must always respect my authority at all times. I have a very beautiful face and I am quite good looking. Although I have never been to France, I flaunt my knowledge of French attained from schoolbooks. I take great pride in my exquisite table and other courtly manners. I secrectly yearn to have a more sophisticated and royal lifestlye. However, I do have a true sense of motherly compassion and sentimental feelings toward innocent animals. If and when I find them suffering or in harm's way, I try to help them. If they have already suffered, I care or weep for them.

 * About Me:**

I am a very shy and reserved young woman. I highly revere Saint Cecelia because she, like me, followed Mary's ways in remaining a virgin forever. Even after marrying, she kept her self-promise of chastity. I have devoted my life to living in devotion to God and prayer. As a nun I will never marry, and I will enjoy keeping my body pure. Jesus has made my body his sacred temple, and no one will ever ruin or invade it.
