nun
A lay woman who has taken special vows committing her to a religious life, otherwise known as a religious sister. They must adopt a celibate life, refraining from marriage and sexual relationships - a religious sister takes part in a religious institution, while a nun lives a cloistered monastic life. They are recognized by their distinctive set of garments, called a habit. Christian ones can be additionally recognized by the appearance of a cross or crucifix.
The term "nun" is applicable to Catholics – both Eastern and Western traditions – Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, Lutherans, Jains, Buddhists, and Taoists. Nuns can vary in appearance not just across each tradition, but within traditions as well; common subtypes of nuns across traditions include military nuns (or battle/combat/warrior nuns).
See traditional nun for the traditional modest Christian nun outfit, as opposed to the sexualized nun outfits typically seen in anime.
