Ferdinand (Anime)

Ferdinand (フェルディナンド Ferudinando ) is the Head Priest of the Ehrenfest church.

When Myne becomes a blue-robed apprentice priestess at the cathedral, Ferdinand becomes her teacher and mentor.

Ferdinand has pale golden eyes and light blue, shoulder-length hair. He wears blue robes while working in the cathedral, but dresses in knight's armor and a blue cloak when serving as a member of the Knight's Order.

Ferdinand is a serious, disciplined and pragmatic person. He values competence and hard work more than social status: He informs Myne that "merit is the only metric" that matters to him.

His practical outlook can often seem cold, as he prioritizes efficiency and rationality over kindness. When the High Priest attempted to bring Myne to the church by force, Ferdinand did not immediately intervene. He also criticized Myne for attempting to reform the orphanage without a clear, sustainable plan for doing so.

However, he can also be more empathetic than his actions would imply. He praises Myne's family for their unconditional love and even comments that he envies them for their happy relationship. Over time, he develops an affection for Myne and shows concern for her happiness and wellbeing.

Unlike most of the blue priests at the cathedral, Ferdinand grew up outside of the church and was raised as a true noble. He studied magic and graduated from the Nobles' Academy. Later, he served as a member of the Knight Order, where his skill in battle left a strong impression on the knight Damuel. Ferdinand eventually gave up his noble status and joined the church for an unknown reason.

At some point in the past, he became acquainted with the nobles Eckhart and Justus, who became his trusted associates.
