[@Denalz] Thank you! That really helps. ^_^

I reread the summary in the beginning and the detailed information for both The Faith of the Sacred Flame and the Followers of the Falling Fire. And I've got a better idea of her soft opinions on the religious factions. 

[u]Faith of the Sacred Flame[/u]
When the paladin, Phiolvamea, was a child, the tenets of compassion, truth, justice, and redemption of the Sacred Flame resonated with her deeply. She admired those tenets and tried to uphold them as best as she could when she was a child. But, when she learned that the order themselves were oppressing mageborn, which led to the underhanded war between them and the Amethyst Academy, she started to see the hypocrisy of the organized religion. The group who used to help people rise up against tyrants were becoming tyrants themselves.

That fact becomes even more clear after one fateful day. When Phiolvamea was 17 years old, a horde of monsters attacked her small hometown. She wanted to fight back, but her parents told her to run and to get herself and her younger brother, Vinnus, to a city where they could meet up with a family friend. The paladin did just that while her parents went to the front lines. 

However, what the paladin and her parents didn't realize was that her younger brother was a mageborn. 

The two siblings would eventually encounter a Paladin of the Sacred Flame, Sir Brutus Bernardus. This Paladin recognized that her younger brother was a Mageborn upon first glance, and immediately moved to kill the 7 year old boy. 

Phiolvamea didn't hesitate to draw her own blade against Sir Brutus, to protect Vinnus. Suffice to say, she was no match against Sir Brutus. The man had beaten her within an inch of her life, before he moved to Vinnus. All Phiolvamea could do was scream as Brutus killed the boy in cold blood. The paladin left Phiolvamea to die as he moved to kill the monsters. Phiolvamea watched him walk away before she fell unconscious.

She woke up to her hometown in ashes, and with a newfound rage, not just towards the religion, but also towards herself for not being able to protect Vinnus. She remembered Sir Brutus and his cruelty; His pure, unadulterated glee in killing her little brother. She remembered his entourage and how nobody thought to stop him; Some even egged him on! She remembered how useless and pathetic she was; How she couldn't do anything to someone who was counting on her! 

Because of this incident, she does not trust the Faith of the Sacred Flame at all. 

She didn't meet with the Family Friend after this incident; There was no point. Everyone she cared about was gone. So she had to make a living for herself and protect any other survivors from her hometown. The nightmares started shortly after this incident. 

[u]Followers of the Falling Fire[/u]
Phiolvamea is aware that this is a sect from the main faith. That does not inspire any confidence or desire to follow this religion. She maintains a healthy dose of skepticism, and intends to pay close attention to the followers' actions, rather than what they say, before rendering a judgment. 

[u]The Old Gods[/u]
Phiolvamea is not sure what to make of them. She doesn't know the stories, nor what the followers for these Gods do. She still maintains a healthy dose of skepticism, and intends to pay close attention to the followers' actions, rather than what they say, before rendering a judgment.
