If I was a female saint

I was living in Sanctuary ever since I could remember and Marin was my senior, only three years older than me. Having trained under the guidance of the same master, I considered her as my big sister, despite us being from different countries. I knew that Marin joined Sanctuary to find her younger brother, after all Sanctuary is an organisation that keeps track of the happenings on Earth. But despite her reasons for becoming a saint, she was a loyal warrior, dedicated to serve Athena and her cause.

The day she became a silver saint at the age of ten, I felt so proud for her and I had hoped she would gain more respect with her new status. But despite my expectations, people still bullied her for being Japanese, despite her looking more European with her blue eyes and brown hair. But to rub salt into the wound, the first assignment she was given as a silver saint was to take in a student from Japan, since he couldn't speak Greek and they didn't know what to do with his temper.

I was seven years old when I first met Seiya in Marin's hut. A soldier was holding him by the arm and he angrily tried to shake him off, punching the man with little damage. We were in the middle of eating dinner and had quickly pulled our masks on, once we noticed the coming arrival of the soldier. With a gruff voice he announced that Seiya was now Marin's student and thus her responsibility. Immediately, I asked "Why should she do it? She doesn't have to take your orders."

"It's not my decision." The soldier shrugged his shoulders, truly not caring about our opinion "If you don't like it, you can complain to the Pope about it."

"You-!"

Marin raised her hand and stopped me from yelling at the soldier "With the coming Holy War, we silver saints have to train as many saints as possible, so we have a full army once Hades strikes. For the future of Sanctuary, I will take him on."

Once Marin gave her approval, the soldier finally let go of Seiya and pushed him inside of the hut "Good luck with that brat!" He laughed and quickly left, not wanting to hear Seiya's protests he couldn't understand anyway.

Sighing in anger, I turned to Marin and asked in Greek "And now?"

She was also sighing and appraising Seiya, who glared at us from the ground. To his surprise, she started to talk in Japanese "What is your name?"

With a slight growl in his voice, he responded "My name is Seiya."

Marin introduced us and then explained "Starting today I will be your mentor. I will train you until you earn your own cloth and become an official saint." When Seiya stood up from the ground, Marin offered him a seat at the dining table "Eat this." She gave him her bowl with food and a new spoon. Famished, the boy quickly devoured Marin's dinner and seeing how hungry he was, I also gave him my serving, though at that time he probably didn't notice that it was our food and that we didn't get any dinner because of him that evening.

Having calmed down, Marin asked him "Where do you come from and why have you come to Sanctuary?"

Seiya then began to tell us about his time in Japan as a training orphan, Kido Mitsumasa and his granddaughter Kido Saori, his big sister Seika and the deal he made with her basically held captor. Since I had lived with Marin for a while, she had taught me a little Japanese by then, so I got a general gist of what he was saying.

Realising everything he said, I started to tremble in anger "That Mitsumasa needs to be taken care of! How dare he try to get in possession of cloths, when he himself isn't even training to become a saint!? Sanctuary should deal with him!"

While I was appalled by Seiya's story, Marin on the other hand was contemplating his words and saw a bigger scheme on our way. With a plan in her head, she looked at me and instructed in Greek "Help Seiya to get accumulated for now. I will go and inspect something."
