Church of the Knife

The Church of the Knife is a denomination of non-magical knife-wielding women started by Robber Girl.

History
After parting ways with Gerda at the end of the Snow Queen, Robber Girl traveled the world and spread her gospel ("Knives are cool. Use them.") to various non-magical women. She attempts to convert Marusa of The Twelve Months when she sees her poor situation while riding by on the way to South Africa, but Marusa refuses. Robber Girl later teams up with King Doctor Rebel Princess to bring the philosophy of the church to the sea.
