The Holy Women (聖女 seijo), also translated as Saint, are women who have inherited the memories of the past Holy Women, and also acquire powers to heal defects in other humans through a process called transcription.

History[]

Holy Women have existed for thousands of years, thought their direct beginning is not mentioned. It began with a girl who had awakened to the power of healing people, the people she healed chose to worship her as a type of savior. While some people praised her for her powers, others called her a fraud. Authorities persecuted her and her followers; burning them at the stake. She still tried to heal people as she was being burned, but a charred limb broke off from the person she healed and attacked people; making her despair in her final moments. The first girl's memories and powers began to travel to other girls who had some form of mental defects and turned their brain cells into familiars. Each one's memories passed on to the next girl as they died; over time the power itself began to carry a sort of madness with it.
