Early on, I considered just doing the Acolyte's childhood and getting outside-the-Temple worldbuilding that way, but I really wanted to write the perspective of a baffled onlooker as her relationship with A Literal Goddess unfolds. And the Elder's arc is great in its own right, where she's just presented like a mean controlling authority figure at first, but by the end she's totally in support -- and you come to appreciate how she's mostly just been protective (not to mention, busy juggling a million other things besides the Acolyte's assignments) the whole time.
