Ascendance of a Bookworm

After Myne awakes from her fever, she describes Effa as woman in her mid-twenties with jade-colored hair and fine features. She has green eyes. [4] Otto refers to her as "a real beauty, totally wasted on the captain". [5]

Personality

A good-natured and hard-working woman, Effa is a loving wife to Gunther and a supportive mother to Tuuli , Myne and Kamil . She is respected by her neighbors in the lower city as a skilled textile worker and seamstress.
Effa has a lot in common with her oldest daughter, Tuuli. Both are creative designers, who have a knack for working with thread and fabric, and both are kind, considerate, and practical by nature. While Effa is generally even-tempered, she sometimes becomes exasperated at Myne and Gunther’s eccentricities. She also dislikes when people are wasteful.
Like the rest of her family, Effa is deeply protective of her loved ones. Although Myne was frequently bedridden with illness and often threw tantrums, Effa cared for her tirelessly and was overjoyed when her condition improved. Later, she risked execution by defying a noble to protect Myne.

History

Effa is the daughter of a former commander of the gate in the city of Ehrenfest . Through her father, she met her future husband Gunther , who was a apprentice soldier under her father's command. Gunther pursued her with enthusiasm, and eventually won her consent and the blessing of her father for the marriage.
The two would later raise three children: her oldest daughter, Tuuli , her second daughter, Myne, and her youngest son Kamil . Effa also had two miscarriages, and their first son died shortly after he was born.
Effa works at the Heuss Workshop [6] as a dyer. She is also an excellent seamstress, although she does not sew for a living. By commoner standards, which place a high value on health, strength, and household skills, she is considered a “beauty”. In addition to her work, Effa spent a lot of time caring for Myne, who was a very sickly child.

Skills and Abilities

Sewing. Effa is a very good seamstress. Her self-made outfits like Tuuli's baptism dress were the envy of the neighborhood. She also picked up crocheting from Myne from just watching her for a short time.

Trivia

Effa admires Benno's younger sister, Corinna , for her ability as a seamstress. Corinna is an influential member of the seamstress guild, so Effa becomes very flustered when Corinna asks to see her sewing work on Myne's baptismal dress. Many of the neighborhood women still can't believe Effa agreed to marry Gunther. Effa was considered a very desirable marriage candidate with many options, while Gunther was considered very goofy and a dreamer. The line that made Effa fully fall in love with Gunther was: "I became a soldier because I genuinely want to protect this city and my family. You didn't laugh at that, Effa, and I love you for it. I want you by my side." [7]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Eglantine has bright orange eyes and wavy golden hair that she wears in elaborate braids. Due to her appearance and her skill at performing the Dedication Whirl , she is often compared to the Goddess of Light . [8]

Personality

Eglantine is polite and soft-spoken. Although she is usually reserved, she loves art and can become animated when discussing music and dance.
After losing her family in the recent civil war , Eglantine developed a strong aversion to political conflict. She values peace and is willing to make great personal sacrifices to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. [9]

History

Eglantine is a former princess . Her father was the previous third prince of Yurgenschmidt , one of the main figures in the recent civil war . Her entire family was killed when an assassin poisoned their food. Eglantine, who had not yet been baptized and so did not eat dinner with the family, was the sole survivor. [10]
After Eglantine was orphaned, she was adopted by her grandfather, who at the time was the Aub Klassenberg. While he adopted her for her protection, he later came to regret his actions. He feels he stole her birthright, and he is determined to have her marry Anastasius or Sigiswald to regain her original status as royalty. [9] Since then, her grandfather has retired and passed the position of Aub on to his successor, but he is still an active and very influential participant in Klassenberg's political landscape. According to Prince Anastasius , she has more elemental affinities than the current king and is expected to exceed his mana capacity before she reaches adulthood. [10]
Due to her elegance and skill, she was chosen for the part of the Goddess of Light at the Dedication Whirl performed at her graduation ceremony at the Royal Academy . During the two years she and Lady Christine shared at the Royal Academy, the two bonded over their shared appreciation of art and attended many tea parties together. [8]

Trivia

Eglantine seems to have a weakness for direct compliments, as Rozemyne 's earnest admiration and Anastasius's effusive praise both leave her flustered. Eglantine is said to resemble her mother a lot in appearance, who was also wooed enthusiastically by a prince. [4] Eglantine's name is derived from Églantine, which is Briar rose in French. Eglantine regularly came in as first-in-class during her Royal Academy education. [11]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Elvira has dark green hair gathered up in complex bundles, and she wears elaborate clothing covered in embroidery of all colors. According to Rozemyne , she seems to be in her mid-thirties. She has a dignified aura even when standing still, and her every gesture “exudes grace and refinement”. [7]

Personality

Elvira is fashionable, intelligent, and socially adept. Rozemyne describes her as a role model: someone who “secures that which benefits her, pays back into society, receives praise from all around her, and is unrelenting when it comes to her hobbies”. [8]
When Veronica held power in Ehrenfest , Elvira loyally supported those who faced persecution, including Ferdinand and Florencia . [6] She has so much trust in Ferdinand that she was willing to baptize Rozemyne as her daughter on his request. [5] True to her promise, she treats Rozemyne with as much support and affection as her blood-related children.

History

As the daughter of Veronica’s half-sister, Elvira faced political persecution and harassment throughout her life. She attended the Royal Academy and graduated from the scholar's course, and was subsequently married to Karstedt in hopes that it would offer her protection from Veronica's abuse.
However, she worked methodically to gather allies among the other noblewomen who suffered at Veronica’s hands and prepared a counter-faction. When Sylvester married his first wife, Florencia , she was also targeted by Veronica and eventually joined Elvira’s faction. The name of the faction changed accordingly to the Florencia faction, despite Elvira still being the leader. [6]
Elvira’s husband Karstedt also married a second wife, Trudeliede , and a third wife, Rozemary . However, Rozemary’s mednoble family began making unreasonable demands of the family, and Trudeliede took to bullying Rozemary in turn. The situation spiraled into a fierce familial conflict.
Karstedt failed to view the situation objectively and sided solely with Rozemary, forcing Elvira to side with Trudeliede in an attempt to balance the conflict. Their constant fighting exacerbated Rozemary's already poor health and eventually led to her death. Even years later, Elvira and Karstedt’s relationship remains strained as a consequence.
In spite of her misgivings, Elvira is willing to accept Rozemyne into the family and baptize her as her own child, mainly because she is asked to help as a personal request from Ferdinand . [5]

Retainers


Ascendance of a Bookworm

While taking on a Human-like appearance Erwaermen looks like a tall and slender man in his thirties, except that his skin has the colour and texture of ivory. [1]

History

When Ewigeliebe fell in love with the Goddes of Earth, Erwaermen assisted him in his proposal to Geduldh and acquiring the God of Darkness ' permission to marry her. But soon after the happy wedding, Ewigeliebe changed. Twisted by his fear of losing his wife, he froze her in ice to keep her only for himself and jealously guarded her.
Confronted with how Ewigeliebe treated his new wife and her subordinates, Erwaermen was outraged. He gathered Geduldh's subordinate goddesses and guided them to Flutrane , determined to save their mistress. In the guilt and shame of his role in binding the threads that led to Geduldh's suffering, Erwaermen retired from his position as god and passed both his duties and his powers to Liebeskhilfe . [2]
It isn't clear how it ended up like this, but today Erwaermen is linked to the Foundation of Yurgenschmidt . Should the Foundation ever run dry, the former god will disappear along with it and the kingdom. [3] Since the beginning of the country, Erwaermen stays in the Garden of Beginnings , taking the shape of a tree made from ivory most of the time. He is able to take on his old, albeit still retaining the colour and texture of ivory, when communicating with Zent Candidates, who enter the Garden of Beginnings. This is primarily to grant Zent Candidates, who have already fulfilled the necessary steps, Mestionora 's Wisdom, filling their Grutrissheit .
In the past Erwaermen also occasionally took on this human-like shape to just converse with omni-elemental students, when they came to the Garden to receive their divine will, but since the transformation requires mana, that is drained from Yurgenschmidt's foundation, he has refrained from transforming for any other reason than bestowing Mestionora's Wisdom, since the mana shortage began. [1]
At some point in the history of Yurgenschmidt , a princess creates the shumil-like magic tools Schwartz and Weiss to both help the librarians of of the Royal Academy Library and aid Zent candidates on their path to obtain the Grutrissheit, in a slightly different way, that is accessible only to member of the royal family. With Erwaermen being their spiritual predecessor, the princess made the two shumil refer to Erwaermen as "Gramps." Erwaermen himself seems to have warm and nostalgic feelings toward being called by this name.
During his time in the Royal Academy , Ferdinand - or Quinta, as he is known to Erwaermen due to this being his true name - rather than properly praying and donating mana through proper rituals and ceremonies, forecully charged the magic circle that appeared after praying at the Large Shrines with mana and forced his way through the opening above the Garden of Beginnings. Despite this exceptionally rude behaviour, Erwaermen still began the process of loading Mestionora's Wisdom into the boy's mind, but Ferdinand refused the knowledge, which broke off the process after only about 30 to 40 percent was put into his mind, much to the chagrin of Erwaermen. [1]

Story

Ten years later, Rozemyne - during her fourth year at the Royal Academy - fulfills the prerequisites to obtain the Grutrissheit and is summoned to the Garden of Beginnings, the proper route. Since he is unable to see the physical world and only perceives it through mana, Erwaermen is convinced that Ferdinand returned to get the remaining knowledge, rather than a new person. The former god appears still a bit sore about the mortal's previous misbehaviour, but is glad that this time 'he' has come the proper way and is showing the appropriate manners. Erwaermen is surprised that "Quinta's" vessel had regressed to a smaller size, to the point were it could no longer contain "everything" and wonders of he suffers from some kind of curse. He calls upon Anwachs for help, which the God of Growth provides, growing Rozemyne to a state a person her age should have. Apparently pleased with her vessel now once again having the necessary size, he makes the mortal go through the process of obtaining Mestionora's Wisdom and transfers the remaining 60 to 70 percent of it, into their mind. Due to his forceful and commanding presence, Rozemyne temporarily forgoes any questions and protestations and follows the former god's instructions, without resistence. [1]
Only after the process is finishes, does she speak up and state that she is not the same person who came here ten years ago. This initially confuses Erwaermen, sicne their mana is nearly identical, but after some back and froth, in which Rozemyne reveals that she was once dyed by Quinta and realizing that this dying stuck to this day, on account of Rozemyne being a child with the Mark of Ewigeliebe, she is able to convince the former god of the truth of her statement. This means that now the Wisdom of Mestionora is split between them. He commands Rozemyne to gain the parts that she is missing, by killing Ferdinand and absorbing his feystone, before going back to being a silent, inanimate statue of a tree. [4]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ferdinand has light gold eyes and pale blue hair that falls to his shoulders. He is tall and has a slender build. Generally, his face reveals little emotion. [8] In noblewomen's society, Ferdinand is considered very attractive. [9]
When Myne first encounters him, she thinks he looks around the same age as Benno , although he is actually about ten years younger. His worn appearance is primarily due to overwork, and he tends to look closer to his real age when he has more time to relax. [1]

Personality

As Ferdinand often says himself, he does not have a naturally “likeable” personality. He treats most people coldly, unless he has reason to believe they are valuable to him, and only bothers with politeness when it benefits him. [10] As an opponent, Ferdinand is calculating and ruthless. He exploits every weakness without restraint to secure the best possible result for himself. [11] Due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of Veronica , he is especially distrustful, cold, and impatient with women. [12]
However, Ferdinand is deeply loyal and will go to great lengths to protect and support the few people he cares about. Despite his often solitary life, he values personal relationships highly, and he admits to Myne that he envies the unconditional love and support she receives from her family. [13] Due to his difficult upbringing, Ferdinand rarely expresses his emotions outwardly. When he does show kindness or concern, he tends to do it in a roundabout and hard-to-understand manner. [14] He also is good at hiding discomfort and pain: the more upset he is, the brighter he smiles.
An exceptionally competent and hardworking person, Ferdinand values those same qualities in others. However, he has no patience for those who cannot meet his standards. Myne reflects that he often tries to do everything himself rather than rely on others. Ferdinand also loves research and often forgets to eat or sleep when he’s studying a fascinating topic. [15]
Ferdinand is described as a cold-blooded pragmatist, who cares about almost nothing but efficiency. Ironically, his extreme pragmatism can lead to unnecessary delays and difficulties: When he is reluctant to "waste time" teaching noble etiquette to Ehrenfest commoners, Rozemyne points out that punishing commoners for breach of etiquette is much more wasteful and time-consuming. [16]

History

Ferdinand's true origins are known to extremely few people. He was born under the name "Quinta" in the Adalgisa Villa in the Sovereignty as the son of Seradina , [17] a princess of the country of Lanzenave . Seradina served as the "Flower of House Loweleier," [3] where her role was to produce children with a high level of mana . Of her sons, the one with most mana would be chosen to return to Lanzenave as its next king, while all others would be executed and their feystones harvested and sent back to Lanzenave as resources. [18]
Since Quinta did not have the most mana among his brothers, he was slated for execution. However, he was able to escape the villa and find safety in Ehrenfest under the care of the previous archduke , to whom he gave his name . The circumstances surrounding this event are unclear even to nobles (like Raublut ) who were closely involved at the time, but Aub Ehrenfest attributed it to "the guidance of the Goddess of Time." Ferdinand's mother Seradina was executed and turned into a feystone in his place. [3]
When Ferdinand first came to Ehrenfest, he was accompanied by a woman from the Sovereignty. She lived with him as a caregiver and maternal figure in the villa provided by the archduke before his baptism (the archduke's first wife Veronica having forbidden him from living in the castle). [19] The Aub's paternal half-sister and soon-to-be second wife Irmhilde was planned to become Ferdinand's baptismal mother, but she died before either her marriage or his baptism could take place. [4]
Because Veronica refused to adopt Ferdinand or have him baptized as her child, he was introduced to noble society only as the son of Aub Ehrenfest and a mistress. As an illegitimate child, he could not legally become the next Aub unless every other member of the archducal family died. [20] Ferdinand began living in the archduke's castle after his baptism. When he later returned to the villa where he was raised, the woman who formerly cared for him was gone. Rozemyne posits that Veronica was to blame for the woman's sudden disappearance. [19]
Growing up, Ferdinand was routinely harassed and ostracized by his stepmother, who viewed him as a threat and rival to her own son and preferred heir, Sylvester . She tormented him continually, assigning him untrustworthy retainers and having his meals poisoned or tampered with. [21] By contrast, Sylvester was eager to have a good relationship with his new half-brother. [22]
At age ten, Ferdinand enrolled in the Royal Academy , where he excelled in his studies. After Justus told him it was possible to enroll in multiple courses, he decided to simultaneously take the scholar course, the knight course, and the archduke candidate course. Unlike most students, he viewed the Royal Academy as a respite from his difficult life in Ehrenfest and stayed there year-round, only returning home when summoned.
During his school years, Ferdinand studied as a disciple of Professor Hirschur , an avid researcher of magic tools. He also became widely known among the other students for his skill in treasure-stealing ditter and harspiel , and routinely received the top grades in his class. [10] Fellow students like Henrik and Eckhart were immensely impressed by his achievements, and Heisshitze of Dunkelfelger came to view him as a rival.
At some point in his time at the Royal Academy, Ferdinand fulfilled most of the trials to become a Zent candidate and then used mana to brute-force his way into the Garden of Beginnings and reach Erwaermen . Although the god disapproved of his unconventional methods, Ferdinand was qualified to obtain the Book of Mestionora and began absorbing the knowledge it contained. However, he broke off the transfer process when his Book of Mestionora was only about a third complete. [18]
Ferdinand also accepted Justus , Eckhart and Lasfam as his retainers after joining the Royal Academy. However, his deep-seated distrust of others meant that he was unwilling to rely on them until they gave him their names in a show of unwavering loyalty. Eckhart's wife Heidemarie also served as his retainer, but was killed by poisoning shortly after her marriage. After graduating from the Royal Academy, Ferdinand briefly served with the Ehrenfest Knight's Order , where he left a lasting impression on the apprentice knight Damuel .
As the archduke's health worsened, so did Veronica's paranoia; she began persecuting Ferdinand more and more harshly. When he began to feel he was in danger of losing his life, he followed Sylvester’s advice and joined the temple , giving up his status as a noble. In a particularly cruel gesture, Veronica forced him to leave behind the ocher Ehrenfest cape he had been given by his father; from that point onward, he began wearing the blue Dunkelfelger cape he had won from Heisshitze in a ditter match at the Royal Academy. [23]
When the Sixth Aub Ehrenfest lay on his deathbed, he returned Ferdinand's name to him. Before his father's death, Ferdinand promised that he would do everything in his power to make his half-brother Sylvester the archduke and aid him henceforth. [20] When his father's funeral was held, Ferdinand was only able to attend as a blue priest, rather than as a relative of the deceased. [24]
When Ferdinand first came to the temple, he only took on just two attendants. Wary that the High Bishop Bezewanst would attempt to poison him, he hired a chef only to make food for his attendants and returned to his estate in the Noble's Quarter to eat his own meals. His fear turned out to be justified when he caught a grey shrine maiden tampering with the food his chamber, not realizing that Ferdinand did not eat there.
After interrogating the shrine maiden, Ferdinand diluted the poison into a nonlethal dose and had it added to Bezewanst's own food in an overt threat, warning him of the consequences should he make a second attempt. This conflict resulted in a new rule forbidding attendants from entering the kitchens of blue priests or shrine maidens other than their master, and there were no further poisoning incidents in the temple. [25]
Initially after joining the temple, Ferdinand was frequently bored and had little to occupy his time besides reading and research. Upon hearing this, his brother Sylvester sent a rather significant part of his own work to Ferdinand, in part so he would not have to work so much himself and in part to help his younger brother stave off the boredom.
However, the serious mana shortage caused by the civil war in the Sovereignty and subsequent political purges had a significant impact on temple life. Young blue priests and shrine maidens were called back into noble society, while those with enough mana were sent to the Sovereignty temple. Due to his mana and family status, Ferdinand was the only one left who was qualified to become the High Priest . [26]
Shouldering his temple responsibilities and Sylvester's requests from the castle, Ferdinand soon became exhausted, working late into the night and using rejuvenation potions to compensate for his lack of sleep. However, his aversion to admitting weakness or asking for help prevented him from mentioning these difficulties to his brother.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ferdinand has pale golden eyes and light blue, shoulder-length hair. He wears blue robes while working in the cathedral, but dresses in knight's armor and a blue cloak when serving as a member of the Knight's Order .

Personality

Ferdinand is a serious, disciplined and pragmatic person. He values competence and hard work more than social status: He informs Myne that "merit is the only metric" that matters to him.
His practical outlook can often seem cold, as he prioritizes efficiency and rationality over kindness. When the High Priest attempted to bring Myne to the church by force, Ferdinand did not immediately intervene. He also criticized Myne for attempting to reform the orphanage without a clear, sustainable plan for doing so.
However, he can also be more empathetic than his actions would imply. He praises Myne's family for their unconditional love and even comments that he envies them for their happy relationship. [2] Over time, he develops an affection for Myne and shows concern for her happiness and wellbeing.

History

Unlike most of the blue priests at the cathedral, Ferdinand grew up outside of the church and was raised as a true noble . [3] He studied magic and graduated from the Nobles' Academy . [4] Later, he served as a member of the Knight Order , [5] where his skill in battle left a strong impression on the knight Damuel . Ferdinand eventually gave up his noble status and joined the church for an unknown reason. [3]
At some point in the past, he became acquainted with the nobles Eckhart and Justus , who became his trusted associates. [6]

Trivia

Ferdinand serves as the narrator for the anime. In the official light novel translation, Ferdinand's title is "High Priest" and Bezewanst's is "High Bishop". However, the anime uses the title "Head Priest" for Ferdinand and "High Priest" for Bezewanst. His ring has a green feystone, indicating that he was born in spring. He is the only member of the Ehrenfest Knight's Order who wears a blue cape.

History

Story


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Florencia has indigo eyes and straight, light-blonde hair that is close to silver. She has a peaceful smile and gives off the impression of a gentle, refined beauty. [3]

Personality

In contrast to her demure appearance, Florencia has a cool head and a firm attitude. She is a strict, no-nonsense mother and is one of the few people who can keep tabs on Sylvester and Wilfried . [3] Even when she is deeply upset or angry, she can maintain perfect composure.

History

Florencia was born the daughter of the previous Aub Frenbeltag and his third wife, [1] , making her an archduke candidate of Frenbeltag . [4] However, her older brother was favored to inherit, while Florencia was expected to make a political marriage.
At age ten, she entered the Royal Academy . Two years later, Sylvester entered the academy as well. During their school years, he fell in love with her. Although it is considered very rare for a noblewoman to marry a younger man, he went to great lengths to persuade her and her family to accept his courtship. Finally, he won their approval to escort Florencia at the graduation ceremony. [5]
After Sylvester came of age, Florencia married him and moved to Ehrenfest, as his first and only wife. His decision not to take a second wife frustrated nobles of the Leisegang faction, who for several generations had wanted an archduke candidate with more Ehrenfest blood. [6] To make matters worse, Florencia was immediately ostracized by Veronica , her new mother-in-law. She found sympathy and support with Elvira and joined her political faction. Although Elvira remained the leader of the faction, it came to be called the "Florencia" faction due to her higher rank. [7]
When Florencia gave birth to her first child Wilfried , Veronica claimed that it would be dangerous to trust him to someone who had just married into the family. As a result, Florencia was denied control over her son's upbringing and was only able to see him briefly during family dinners. Because her time with her son was so limited, she didn't realize that Wilfried's education was going very poorly. [8]
Satisfied with her control over Wilfried, Veronica had no interest in Florencia's other two children, Charlotte and Melchior . Florencia was able to raise the two of them with all the love and strictness they needed to become proper archduke candidates. Her education was seemingly very effective. Charlotte's skills and capabilities soon matched and then exceeded her older brother's.
During the Sovereignty civil war , Frenbeltag was one of the losing duchies. While Florencia was safe due to having wedded into the neutral Ehrenfest, her father, the previous Aub Frenbeltag, was executed in the political purge . Her older brother subsequently inherited the position. [4]
Florencia was overjoyed when Veronica was finally imprisoned. However, she was careful to avoid discussing it around Wilfried because she knew she would invariably lose control of her emotions. [9] When Sylvester decided to adopt Rozemyne as his daughter, Florencia agreed it was the best choice for Ehrenfest , and considered it a "rare instance of Sylvester making a very wise decision. [10]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Fran is a tall young man with light purple hair and brown eyes. [1] He is strong and has broad shoulders, but he used to look frail when he was younger. [2]

Personality

Serious and respectful by nature, Fran is wholeheartedly dedicated to his work at the temple. [1] He sets high expectations for himself and feels enormously frustrated when he fails to achieve what is asked of him; conversely, he is happiest when he can do his job to the best of his ability. [3] Fran also dislikes rudeness and impropriety, and has a polite demeanor which can seem stand-offish.
Fran has exceptional control over his own emotions, rarely showing them on his face without intending to. The only time he ever lost his composure was when Thore shouted that Rozemyne has no idea what it was like to be separated from family members. Having witnessed his mistresses heart-break over being separated from her family this made him angry enough to slap the orphan. [4]

History

Fran grew up in the Ehrenfest temple orphanage and became a gray priest after his baptism.
One of the first masters he served as an apprentice attendant was Sister Margaret , a blue shrine maiden and the former orphanage director . A cruel woman, Sister Margaret used her position to sexually abuse underage gray priests, including Fran, in her hidden room. [2] The trauma of the experience gave Fran a strong distrust of women, especially blue shrine maidens. [5]
When it became known that Sister Margaret had slept with a gray priest, she was disgraced and was forbidden from returning with the other blue shrine maidens during the recall of the blue priests . She fell into despair and committed suicide. Fran did nothing to stop her and was deeply relieved when she died. [2]
Although Fran didn't realize it, this experience earned him the intense hatred of Arno , a fellow gray priest who served Sister Margaret alongside him. Arno was infatuated with the blue shrine maiden and jealous of Fran, who rejected her advances. He later grew to blame Fran for her death as well, and spent the rest of his life doing everything he could to make Fran suffer. [2]
After her death, Ferdinand entered the temple and took both Fran and Arno as his attendants. Fran grew to admire Ferdinand's skill and worked hard to serve him as well as possible. As a result, he soon became one of Ferdinand's most trusted and valued attendants. [6]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Fraularm is a woman who looked to be in her mid-forties. According to Rozemyne , she "wore a prideful expression that matched the sharp, prickly aura she exuded". [4]

Personality

Fraularm is prideful, irritable, and resistant to change, such that Hirschur described her as "hardheaded". [6] She often let her own emotions get the better of her, and would scream in her distinctive high-pitched voice whenever things are not going her way. She is also exceedingly resentful, such that she has been repeatedly trying to sabotage Rozemyne and Ehrenfest ever since she fainted out of shock upon seeing Rozemyne's highbeast.

History

Fraularm is a scholar and was hired as a professor after the purge opened up many new positions at the royal academy. When people address the decline of the quality of education following the civil war she tends to react sensitive and becomes defensive, as if she's taking such remarks to be criticism of her own teaching abilities, rather than general remarks. [2]
As a scholar herself it's no surprise that apart from the general courses for first and second years, she mainly teachers subjects of the scholar's course, information gathering and taxonomy among them. [7]
Aub Ahrensbach appointed her as his duchy's dormitory supervisor for her supposed skill at gathering information. [8]
Fraularm has a younger sister who married Count Bindewald . Due to his disgrace when he attacked an Ehrenfest archduke candidate her sister received some form of punishment by association that Fraularm considers to be nightmarish. Rather than blaming her brother-in-law for his blunder however, she sees it as him having deliberately been lured into a trap and thus loathes Ehrenfest as a whole and the people directly involved in particular.
