Biography

Elain was raised in the church since an early age. Up until she was old enough to be assistant to the previous director, she was not even aware that boys and girls were different down there and was rather surprised to find out.

She has a calming atmosphere and comes off as very kind on a first impression and to people outside the orphanage, but she has learned to make herself rather intimidating to the children of the orphanage when she finds herself having to scold them.

Her only knowledge of anything sex related comes from the bible, which she has read many many times. She has read the euphemisms "know," which she doesn't understand at all and believes refers to getting married, and "lie with," which she thinks is meant quite literally. She is fairly lacking in awareness of actual sexual intercourse for a woman her age as, in this town, it is usually the case that a woman only even learns of such things when she is married and often as a result of being taught by her husband.

As the director of the orphanage, she effectively counts as the guardian for all of the children under her. As such, she was informed of the new disciplinary program by way of the letter sent out to parents inviting them to discuss the new program. However, she was unable to attend it due to her being busy with the orphanage.

She has heard a thing or two about what it actually entails from Father Isardo, however, and has suggested that perhaps the school's director of discipline should help her in keeping the orphans in line.
