Ursula ((せい)ウルスラ), canonized as 'Saint Ursula', was the historical figure St. Ursula Medical College was named after.

Background[]

Zeit knew Ursula—the two are collectively the subject of The Saint and the White Wolf—and as a result he recognizes Cecile Neues as a descendant of Ursula's on-sight.

The Legend of the Saint and the White Wolf[]

The Ursula for whom the hospital is named lived 'a long time ago' when the land was divided in two by a long war. She helped care for the wounded and sick from both sides, which angered the local lord, and so he ordered one of his knights to kill her. A white wolf startled the man in the forest, and he wound up falling down a cliff while fleeing. Ursula found him and nursed him back to health. Afterward, the knight confessed what he'd been sent to do.

Later, the town was attacked by mercenaries employed by the rival side of the war. Ursula died protecting the lord from one such mercenary, telling the lord that, even though he tried to kill her, lives are still a precious gift of the Goddess, no matter who they belong to. A group of white wolves then appeared and drove off the mercenaries, surrounding Ursula's body and howling. The lord and his knight later went on to found a hospital in her memory, and in time, the Septian Church canonized her as a saint.

Myth vs. Reality[]

As with some of the series' other works of in-universe fiction, St. Ursula's story has been considerably altered and mythologized over time. Zeit reveals he knew Ursula, and that she survived and married the knight from the story. 

Their descendants live in Crossbell to this day.
