best of both worlds
The priests don't know that the Chosen One's father was a half-elf.
The scriptures of Martel say that she is the daughter of an angel. She is not really her mother's child. Her mother was merely a carrier. They say that the Chosen was born from her father alone.
Jane half-wishes it was true.
Mika is only seven years old (a tiny fragment of an elf's life, though she will never live to see the full glory of a thousand years) but she speaks with the might of a queen. An angel descends from the heavens to bless her by the powers of Cruxis, and she talks back to him with such force that the priests are scandalized.
A sassy young girl, they say. She may be the Chosen One, but she needs to learn to keep her mouth shut in the presence of men. Still others say that she is an abomination, along with her church and her tower. She deserves her fate, some say.
Mika is indeed a strong-willed little girl, but it's not because she's the Chosen One. Jane knows it's because her little angel takes after her father.
