The Paladin
The paladin serves a church that is corrupt from the inside out. Since women aren't supposed to be paladins in her setting, she often wears bulky armor that covers her form. When in her armor, she doesn't speak very much. There are two versions of her:
The first is completely unaware of this. She can see the oppression of the church but honestly believes that the church is doing its best to help the people of the land. Plots with her usually involve her entire reality shattering as everything she held to be truth is pulled away bit by bit. Can she take such a blow or will she buckle from all of these revelations?
The second version is aware and feels completely powerless to do anything. Were she to leave the church, she would lose what little grip she has. The best she can hope to do is stay within the church and try to help people as best she can. Stories with her tend to involve her trying to find her faith in humanity once again and rising up against a force she can't hope to defeat.
