<p>Yes, she is blind. In <strong>Volume 2 Chapter 7</strong> of the light novel, it was indirectly stated that she is. To quote,</p>

<p>The Sword Maiden wears a blindfold, which usually indicates blindness.  However, she does not act blind, nor does this <a href="https://goblin-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_Maiden" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wiki entry</a> say she is blind.</p>

<p>If she's not blind, why does she have a blindfold?</p>

If she's not blind, why does she have a blindfold?
