Archived-Elizabeth Saint-Matthew
Personal Information
Appearance
Mother Saint-Matthew is always very conservatively dressed, frequently with black and blue robes or a shawl over her clothing and her hair neatly tucked away a sheer white scarf, or if the occasion is very formal a black hat. She wears very minimal makeup and for the most part the only jewels she wears are a large gold cross pendant from her neck, one ring on each hand and a rosary bracelet on her right wrist. She generally does not show emotion of any kind.
Personality
Publicly, first impressions of Elizabeth are of a benevolent and pious member of the Sanctified, willing to 'guide' Kindred in their Damnation. Privately however she is stern and sometimes cruel.
Mortal World
Information Known by Kindred Society
Elizabeth is a ward of House Grimm, though it's not widely known how this came to be. She throws herself into the role of Sanctified Confessor and will take Confession from almost anyone. She utilises specific Rites for taking Confession and considers it "not her problem" to explain these Rites beforehand. If a Kindred does not know how to Confess his sins, well, that's his problem! She also records EVERYTHING she is told in Confession, later transcribing it.
