It took me a long time but I've got some presentable ideas for the priestess's design. I've based her design on catholic nuns. I mainly focused on her hat because I think its what will define her character as a priestess and create a unique silhouette. I still want to work out the robe and staff to unify her whole design. I was trying to design her shape language to convey stability. I want her character to double as a tank and a healer so she is capable of casting shield spells to absorb damage but has minuscule damage output. Also I havnt thought of a good name for her...
I imagine her as a very repressed religiously devote young woman in her late teens or early twenties. Shes lead a sheltered life living in a monastery from the time she was born and recent events have caused her to go on a journey. Her relationship with Angus would be very abrasive with her being an naive idealist and him being a vulgar bitter realist. She's only been around other women in the monastery so she knows nothing about men or sex. She finds her self conflicted with her unexplored sexuality and the fact that shes sworn to a life of celibacy.
I have in mind a few side characters like a paladin called Sir Lance. The priestess has a crush on Lance who is a chivalrous pretty boy. Fransisco, Lance's flamboyant effeminate squire, is very jealous and possessive of him. They have an obvious gay relationship in which Fransisco as the squire and smaller, physically weaker of the two ironically wears the pants. The priestess being inexperienced in male/female relationships is oblivious to this and many comedic situations ensue.
Heres some design inspiration I used as well.
