Setting
Inside the stone chapel of Kildare Abbey, a simple yet solemn space with a high wooden roof supported by rough-hewn beams. The walls are lined with woven tapestries depicting biblical scenes, and the floor is covered with rushes that rustle softly underfoot. A small altar at the far end holds a simple wooden cross and a few flickering candles.

Saint Brigid
primary
A frail elderly woman with silver-white hair peeking from beneath her veil, her face lined with age yet radiant with an inner light. Her skin is parchment-thin, showing blue veins beneath, and her hands are gnarled from decades of labor and prayer. Despite her weakened state, her pale blue eyes remain clear and focused.
Abbot Conleth
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 60s with a deeply lined face that speaks of years spent in prayer and fasting. His silver hair is tonsured in the Celtic monastic style, framing piercing blue eyes that seem to see beyond the mortal world. His hands are long-fingered and slightly trembling with age, yet move with deliberate grace during the sacred rites.
Elder Nun
secondary
A senior nun in her late 60s with a frail but dignified frame. Her face is deeply lined from decades of monastic life, with pale blue eyes that reflect both wisdom and sorrow. Her hands, clasped in prayer, show the calluses of years of manual labor and weaving.
Novice Sister
secondary
A young woman in her late teens or early twenties, slight of build with fair skin and delicate features. Her hands are smooth, showing little sign of hard labor, suggesting she comes from a noble family. Her auburn hair is neatly tucked under her veil, and her blue eyes are wide with a mix of awe and sorrow.
