Caren was accepted solely because of her stigmata, later revealed to be the result of her being an advanced spirit medium and possessing what would be called the " Masochistic Spiritualist Constitution", becoming extremely valuable to the Holy Church as a daemon detector for Exorcists. She eventually became a priestess in the Church, accepted by the Cistercian Order into Citeaux Abbey, a self-sufficient community of devout believers following strict rules of discipline. Finally, when Caren was of age to be baptized, stigmata appeared on her body, and the priest conceded defeat, handing her over to the Holy Church. Caren, for her part, did not think of this life as especially difficult. His reason for not educating her was twofold: to reduce unecessary expanses and to prevent "the child of a beast" from gaining knowledge and becoming "wicked", only instructing her to pray. For eight years, Caren lived with the priest, who did not send her to school and instead had her work as a servant in his church. It did not work, and rather than caring for Caren himself, he placed her in the custody of her mother's relatives, thus having her take up their surname.Ĭaren was entrusted to a devout priest, who looked down on her mother for having a child out of wedlock and never showed any love to Caren, declaring her unfit to be a child of God until she was baptized. Her mother, who was very sickly, killed herself in a final attempt to help Kirei, who was on the verge of suicide due to his inherently twisted nature, feel he deserved to live. Caren is the daughter of Kirei Kotomine and Claudia Hortensia.
