Francis for his love of animals and extremely humble nature, and Joan of Arc for being a BA woman who kicked butt.
Dont know much about religious characters. Maybe I would give a chance to Joan of Arc, since she is a woman who fought in a war in a time in which only men used to fight. But I dont know anything about her. Many myths around her, probably.
You should read a book about her sometime. She was pretty extraordinary. Was an 18 year old girl and led a whole army to victory at Orleans back when women weren't even allowed to go to war... much less be in a position of power over the soldiers.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
