Vhala

Vhala is an Unwoman, an acquaintance of High Priestess Sarai who leads a battalion of the Holy Knights of Ardoheim. Although her kind is feared by most, she personally seems to be respected and even liked by the people.

When questioned by Aka, she claims that her transformation into an Unwoman was her choice and she's never regretted it. She doesn't forgive those that forced others to be changed against their wishes, though.

Despite Unpeople being an invention of the Desecrationist faction, in conversations Vhala initially hints and later outright states that her personal views are Consecrationist. She also admits some acceptance of Sarai's "Subsecrationist ways". Nevertheless, as Sarai herself put it:

Story
The party is urged to contact her by Sarai, to learn more about an upcoming proposal at the Arclent Summit for the full mobilization of the Unmen and Unwomen, which will be defended by High Priestess Hester, due to the influence of Andra and the Desecrationist faction. In Ardford, the group tries to reach out to her and learn her opinion of the Church's plans, but they are unceremoniously dismissed. When you retire to your rooms, she will follow you there and after a very tense situation she will learn Simon's secret.

Skills
Her starting unskills are her only ones (in her second round with the group she gains a new one: Arrow of Abstinence).

Starting equipment
As Vhala is just a temporary party member, with her own life outside of Simon's group you can't remove her equipment until the Third War of Arclent is very advanced.

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, at which you can have a conversation with the harem girl that will lock her affection there.

Base value: unestablished.
 * for responding to Vhala's initial brush-off with "because of the Unmen petition", OR for "Sarai relationship" or "nothing", OR  for "argue for more time".
 * for defeating New Unpeople motion.

Special notes

 * Vhala has intrinsic immunity to Sex element damage and healing (so her collaboartion with succubi is pretty limited), and takes half healing from Orc Potion instead of the usual zero.
 * In one of the optional branches of the Ardoheim front, we learn that her favorite color is white.
