Ascendance of a Bookworm

Freida is a very cute girl with brown eyes, a peaceful smile, and light, rose-colored hair that Myne describes as “as fluffy as it is soft-looking.” Due to her illness , she is small for her age. [1]
Several years later in part 4, she grows to about as big as girls of similar age. [3]

Personality

Freida has a mature and dignified demeanor, partly because she was required to learn formal etiquette in preparation for moving to the Nobles’ Quarter.
Inwardly, however, she is an ambitious merchant with a keen nose for profit. She has a knack for seeing opportunities that are overlooked by others. When money is at stake, Freida often becomes aggressive and straightforward, forgetting her demure demeanor.

History

Like Myne , Freida was born with the Devouring and was a sickly child. Her grandfather Gustav was determined to save her life, and he used his vast wealth and connections as the leader of the Merchant's Guild to buy magic tools that could prolong her lifespan.
Due to his status and wealth, Gustav managed to secure multiple offers for submission contracts and even adoptions for his granddaughter, leaving him the luxury of being able to choose one to his liking. With Freida's wish being to remain a merchant, rather than become a noble, Gustav chose to sign a submission contract with Lord Henrik , a very gentle and calm layscholar, who is unusually respectful to commoners for a noble.
According to the terms of the contract, Freida will be provided with a magic tool in the shape of a bracelet to drain her mana until she comes of age at 15. During this time, Freida had to regularly visit her master's mansion, where the mana stored in the bracelet would be drained to be used to power the mansion's magic tools. Once she comes of age, she will then become Henrik’s mistress and live in the Noble's Quarter, where she plans to continue working as a merchant and open up a store in the Noble's Quarter. [4]

Trivia

Freida is one of the only three named Devouring children shown, along with Myne and Dirk . According to Benno, she is the one resembling her grandfather the most in her family. She even said the exactly same lines as Gustav when she was trying to recruit Myne. Her hobbies include counting, saving, and seeing her money. Her obsession in money is said to rival Myne's obsession in books. According to Miya Kazuki , she planned to have Freida make paper together with Myne and Tuuli in one of her early story drafts, but that role was relegated to Lutz instead, when she realized how much manual labor is involved during the process. [5] Lutz noted that Freida and Myne are very similar. Both of them are cute outside but weird inside, single-mindedly devoted to things they love, and even share the same disease. She loves having tea and pound cake with friends, especially female ones. Freida views Myne as her first and best friend, but since Myne's final blessing didn't reach her, it's apparent that Myne didn't share her sentiment.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Fritz has scorched brown hair and eyes. [1]

Personality

Fritz is very restrained and patient as he had to be to survive as Shikikoza 's attendant.

History

Fritz was previously an attendant of Shikikoza , but was returned to the orphanage when his master returned to noble society. [2]

Story

When Rozemyne chose to take on a new attendant to help run the workshop, she requested Gil and Lutz to suggest someone. Of the people they listed, Fritz was suggested by both. Fran , remembering that Fritz had previously been an attendant, also agreed on Fritz. Rozemyne accepted their suggestions and took Fritz as her new attendant. [2]
Fritz's main job is to run the workshop under Gil and Lutz. When Gil and Lutz travel to establish new workshops in the duchy , he will run the orphanage workshop.
Since the best workers tend to be sent out alongside Gil and Lutz, Fritz often ends up with the arduous task of training new workers in their absence. [3]

Trivia

Fritz has very little interaction with Rozemyne. As such he is very nervous around her, looking up to her as a saint. [1]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Georgine has dark green eyes and blue hair that is close to purple, much like her brother Sylvester . She has sharp, pointed facial features and is considered very beautiful. [6] In Ahrensbach fashion, she wears a thin, translucent veil over her face. She bears a striking resemblance to her mother, Veronica .

Personality

Georgine is an intelligent, diligent and strong-willed person, but she tends to hold grudges for long period of time. She deeply resents her younger brother Sylvester, believing that he stole the position of Aub Ehrenfest that was rightfully hers. She shows open contempt for him and revels in her newfound position of power over him.
A charismatic leader, Georgine has attracted the loyalty of many former Veronica faction members. Her cunning intellect also allows her to develop sophisticated political schemes, leaving no traces of evidence that lead back to her.
When Georgine talks to people it often feels to the person as if she wasn't really looking at them, but rather through them to some distant point at the horizon, with her focus entirely on her future goals. [7]

History

Georgine was born the eldest child of Adelbert , the Sixth Aub Ehrenfest , and Veronica , his first wife. Growing up, she was widely expected to become the archduchess of Ehrenfest . [8]
Since the Aub only had a daughter, Georgine had to compete with her male cousins for the seat of successor, particularly Karstedt . To make sure her daughter wouldn't lose to someone else's children, Veronica brutally trained Georgine from a very young age, accompanied often by beatings. Only Rihyarda would at times step in to hold Veronica back, when she went too far, though Georgine enjoyed a deep connection with her uncle Bezewanst who doted on her, albeit they were only able to meet rarely on account of their respective positions.
Veronica's second child Constanze was born a girl and the mother didn't even make an attempt to hide her disappointment of having only another girl and neglected her almost entirely. Feeling sorry for her sister, Georigne tried to pass the archduke candidate lessons on to her, but soon found that without any hope to ever become the Aub, Constanze lacked the drive to live through the brutal lessons. [2]
When Georgine was eight years old, [8] Veronica gave birth to a boy Sylvester . From that moment on, all of Veronica's attention and love was given exclusively to the boy and she completely spoilt him rotten. Instead of having to work hard, like Georgine had to, Sylvester was allowed to run away from his lessons and anyone who spoke out about this was in turn dressed down by Veronica. This included Georgine too. If she tried to make her little brother behave according to his station, Veronica would scold her and make her apologize to the boy, stating that he was too young for harsh lessons, despite having already put Georgine through brutal training when she was that age. For this reason, Georgine never started to care for her little brother and even sometimes wished he would just die. Veronica made it no secret, that she wanted to make her son the next Aub, and for that purpose reassigned Rihyarda - who've been more of a mother to Georgine than her actual mother ever was - to him and stopped training her daughter in archduke candidate lessons.
Upon her entry into the Royal Academy , Georgine found that Veronica had reserved all the children she wanted as retainers for Sylvester, further fouling Georgine's chances to become archduchess. However her father still arranged an engagement with an archduke candidate who would marry into Ehrenfest, which kept her hope of becoming the successor alive for a little longer.
At Sylvester's baptism, Veronica declared before the entire nobility of Ehrenfest, that he would be the next Aub, despite no such decision having been made by the current Aub. Not wishing to show division within the archducal family, Adelbert decided to not immediately call her out in public and instead try to solve the issue later in private. But apparently instead of him sorting things out, Veronica managed to sway him and soon after Gerogine's engagement was dissolved, since it was dependent on her becoming the successor. They told her in no uncertain terms that they wanted her to dedicate her all to supporting Sylvester.
Despite this, Georgine initially decided to make Sylvester into a worthy Aub, trying to give him the same brutal lessons, she received from Georgine, but Sylvester tried to run away at every opportunity and loudly proclaimed he didn't want to be Aub and that she should do it, if she cared so much for the position. This caused Grausam , her most loyal servant, to state that they were better off eliminating Sylvester. He was also the one telling her about name-swearing and about how Veronica's used it and others methods to eliminate anyone she could not be absolutely sure of being loyal to her, to establish her own power-base, before offering Georgine his own name.
As Grausam suggested, she began poaching people of her age, who had been reluctant to give their names to Veronica due to her advancing age and made them swear to her instead, while also covertly sowing rumours about Sylvester to undermine him. Despite her skill, her parents found out and this is when they decided to marry her off into Ahrensbach , where she was going to become the Aub 's third wife, a man as old as her own father.
Soon after Sylvester proclaimed his love for Florencia and that he would take no other wife than her. This finally made Gerogine snap and she finally went from only thinking and wishing about her brother's death, to actively trying to assassinate him, with the same kind of poison that her mother had used so often herself. She had one of her name-sworn put the poison into Sylvester's food and he started to choke at their next dinner. While Veronica despaired, Georgine felt utterly elated, only regretting that his death throes didn't last longer. But against all expectations Sylvester survived. While Veronica was frozen in terror, one of her attendants had immediately sprung into action and administered an antidote.
After her move to Ahrensbach, Georgine fell into depression and just did nothing but survive. She reckoned that she could take power, but didn't care enough to try. One day she had the thought that, if she were to become the first wife, she could stand over Sylvester during archduke conferences and this finally gave her the motivation to do something again. She worked hard and plotted and eventually made it, but found that just humiliating Sylvester, satisfying as it was, wasn't enough for her. She became despondent again, until she received a letter from Bezewanst, which apparently contained information of how she might be able to steal Ehrenfest's foundation. [2]
She left for Ahrensbach before Ferdinand first came to live in the castle, so they did not encounter each other until their father's funeral. Since Ferdinand was serving as a blue priest, they did not exchange greetings. [8] Throughout her time in Ahrensbach, Georgine remained in close communication with her uncle, the former High Bishop Bezewanst . [8]
Georgine had several children with her husband. Her only son, Wolfram, died shortly after the end of the civil war , although his death was unrelated to the political purge . All her other children were girls, and only her youngest daughter Detlinde is still unmarried. [9] Her other girls all married into other noble families and thus lost their status as archduke candidates . [10]
After Sylvester turned his back on the Veronica faction and imprisoned his mother in the Ivory Tower, his former political backers became hostile to him. Instead, many prominent members of the former Veronica faction placed their hopes on Georgine, who resembled her mother and promised stronger ties with Ahrensbach. Although Georgine's original position was third wife to Aub Ahrensbach, she rose to the rank of first wife in the year following Bezewanst's death. In her first year attending the Archduke Conference , she was able to learn about the true circumstances of the Bezewanst incident that occurred the year prior, and negotiated to secure a visit to Ehrenfest to see his grave. There she got permission from Sylvester to visit Veronica in prison, under the condition that she not speak a single word, which Georgine adhered to. Seeing the woman who made her childhood a living hell, in jail and in despair gave Georgine great joy, so much so, that she failed to completely hide her emotions, letting a cruel smile paint her lips on the way out of the tower. [8]

Story


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Giebe Kirnberger is tall and muscular, and carries himself with the bearing of a knight. [2]

Personality

Giebe Kirnberger is unusually direct in his speech and shows his emotions quite openly, unlike most other nobles who prefer to obfuscate their true intent behind euphemisms and keep up an emotionless facade at all times.
When it comes to politics, Giebe Kirnberger takes an entirely neutral stance, preferring to stay as far away from faction politics as he possibly can, while still keeping a vigilant eye on the squabbling of the other nobles and the goings-on in the castle. [1]
He often personally patrols his duchy, leading to his office usually being quite busy with the backlog, whenever he is home. [1]

History

Giebe Kirnberger's father was quite fond of Bonifatius and openly wished that Bonifatius would have become the sixth Aub Ehrenfest, in place of his younger brother Adelbert. This respect for and inspiration by Bonifatius seems to be something that is shared by Giebe Kirnberger as well.
His second wife is a former Leisegang noble, who was severely abused by Veronica . At the advice from Bonifatius ' first wife, she tried to marry into a far away province to escape her fate and eventually managed to marry into Kirnberger, where she gave birth to a son, Alexis.
When their son became old enough to visit the castle, Giebe Kirnberger made sure he stay close to him and his first wife, rather than his mother, so he would not suffer the mistreatment that Veronica and her faction heaped upon anyone associated with the Leisegangs.
Several years later Lord Wilfried lost many of his retainers, giving Alexis the chance to become his guard knight, at Lamprecht 's invitation. Upon learning this, Giebe Kirnberger assigned one of his veteran knights to give Alexis extra lessons and training, so he would be a worthy retainer to a member of the archducal family. [1]

Story


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Gil has short blond hair and dark purple eyes. Myne's first impression of him is that he looks like "a little punk." [1] At first, Gil is roughly as tall as Lutz , but by the start of Part 4 , Gil has had a growth spurt and is almost as tall as Fran . [2]

Personality

Initially, Gil is a sharp-tongued troublemaker, who is notorious for not fulfilling his duties and spending most of his time in the repentance chamber. [3] However, once he learns that his hard work for Myne will be rewarded, Gil becomes cheerful, enthusiastic, and hard-working. [4]
Gil has a very kind heart. He was the first person to implore Myne to improve the conditions in the orphanage and thanked her tearfully when she agreed. [5] He also personally brought food and supplies to the orphans. Although he can still be childish and impulsive, he values Myne's praise highly and works hard to live up to her expectations.

History

Gil grew up in the Ehrenfest temple orphanage . At the age of seven, he was baptized and moved to the boys' wing as a grey priest. Although the conditions were better there than in the girls' wing, he still didn't get very much to eat. [6]
Because Gil was disrespectful and and often refused to clean the temple as he was told, he became known as a troublemaker and spent much of his time in the repentance chamber. [3] At age 10, Gil agreed to serve the apprentice blue shrine maiden Myne , reasoning that he'd get better food to eat as an apprentice attendant than as an orphan gray priest . [4]

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Gretia's eyes are a pleasant shade of bluish green. Her hair is gray and usually worn in a single braid down her back, with bangs long enough to completely hide her eyes while she looks down. She generally wears very plain clothes, giving Rozemyne the vibes of a gloomy shut-in trying to avoid standing out. For a girl her age she has an unusually well developed chest. [2]

Personality

Gretia is exceptionally shy and timid for a noble of her rank. On her first interaction with Rozemyne she practically hides behind her class-mate Judithe . [2]
The abuse of her brothers left deep scars on Gretia's soul, to the point where the mere presence of men near her is making her uncomfortable. As such she has a hard time dealing with Laurenz' joking and teasing, despite them being done in good nature and fun. [1]

History

Gretia was born in the temple to a secret romance of a blue priest and shrine maiden of mednoble descend. When her mother showed signs of her pregnancy their secret affair became public and she inquired about the possibility of her and her lover's families taking them back in so they could marry, but was only mocked for making a request so far above her station. Eventually her family did take her and her newborn daughter in, but considered her a disgrace and confined her to a side building. Before as a shrine maiden Gretia's mother received money and gifts, traveled around for rituals, was with the man she loved and had loyal gray priest attendants, but in the noble estate she was effectively a prisoner who only ever saw displeased guards, leading to some resentment toward her daughter and regular, mumbled complains about how much better her life was before giving birth to her daughter.
While living in the side building Gretia was brought up to become a servant. However when the purge happened and the consequent mana crisis hit the duchy, her family tested Gretia's mana and found it of a suitable level for a mednoble. At her baptism she became the daughter of her uncle and his first wife. From the very beginning they were very clear about their intentions to marry her off for political gains and outright called her a tool to her face, never showing her even a trace of warmth or affection. Her brothers even went a step further refusing to even call her by her name and always calling her only "temple girl". When her womanly features began to set in, they upped their bullying by calling her a cow over her above average chest-size. All this neglect and verbal abuse has caused Gretia to actually look forward to the day when she would be married off, even if it was to a man old enough to be her father.
When Gretia learned of the political purge of the former Veronica faction and how the children would be spared, even if the parents were put to death, she was secretly happy. The thought of being taken away from her abusive family and serving the compassionate Saint of Ehrenfest felt like the gods themselves had intervened and deliver her from her suffering. Having to give her name was a small price to pay for this salvation. [2]

Story


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Gunther has blue hair and light brown eyes. Myne initially describes him as a "mean-looking, muscular guy" who is very strong thanks to his work as a soldier. [5] His work uniform consists of a blue tunic.

Personality

Gunther is a doting and devoted father and loves to talk about his family, especially about his daughters to anyone who will listen. He is quite aggressive if his family is threatened and will put himself at risk to defend them. This is shown among other times when defending Myne against the High Bishop twice, even though he knows that attacking a noble would cost him his life. Gunther is described as being like a child, that can't tell reality and dream apart. He charges head-on without considering his surroundings or consequences, and feels frustrated if he doesn't reach his goal.
He easily gets jealous or pouty when his daughters praise other men in his presence without also praising him, but is easily put back into a good mood once they acknowledge his "greatness."
His greatest treasure is his family, and he became a soldier to protect them.
When Myne started to learn her letters from Otto , Gunther also started to secretly study to maintain his pride as a father. [6]

History

Gunther is the son of a woodworker and dreamed of becoming a knight after listening to minstrel tales of knights. He didn't give up his dream and became a soldier who protected his city. He applied for apprenticeship at the gate, asking the commander, who was also Effa's father, and was accepted.
When he first met Effa , he fell in love with her at first sight and would visit her every single day at her home and ask her father for her hand in marriage. Thanks to Gunther's passion, his marriage proposal was consented, if Effa wanted to marry him. Eventually, he won Effa over by proposing like a knight would. He knelt in front of Effa and offered a magic stone he acquired after slaying a feybeast . He said: "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]
During his work, he became well acquainted with the traveling merchant Otto . When Otto out of the blue bought his citizenship in Ehrenfest and needed a job to propose to his crush Corinna , Gunther introduced him to the gate commander, and Otto was hired as a soldier, so they had someone competent to do all the paperwork.
By the time Myne reached five years old, his dedicated service has earned him the position of Captain, the second in command at his local post.
The teams guarding each gate get relocated in regular intervals. At the start of the story, Gunther is guarding the southern gate and thus often sees and interacts with the children going out to forage in the forest.

Skill and Abilities

Carving: While not quite on the level of a professional craftsman, Gunther is still quite talented in woodworking. Combat: As a soldier, Gunther is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat. He was able to take down multiple grey priests singlehandedly, and even fight weaker Devouring soldiers head on.

Trivia

When Justus is seeking information about Myne from the soldiers at the gate where Gunther works, he was warned off by the soldiers not to bring up Gunther's daughters with Gunther, as he would talk your ear off about them to you. Effa thinks Gunther is at fault for how Myne behaves. In fact, they are similar in the way that both of them will charge head on towards their goals while disregarding everything else, and will protect their loved ones without hesitation, even when faced against overwhelming odds. Gunther loves the refreshing feeling when drinking behelle after work. [8] His name was most likely inspired by the common German first names of Günther or Gunter. The use of ギュ (gyu) rather than グ (gu) makes the former the more likely candidate for the origin. Rozemyne thinks a man who protects and supports her unconditionally like Gunther would be her ideal marriage partner. During her second attempt to obtain ruelle fruit for her Jureve , she "measured" Eckhart 's and Karstedt 's coolness using Gunther as reference.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Gunther has blue hair and light brown eyes. He is often seen wearing his work uniform, consisting of a blue tunic.

Personality

Gunther is a doting father and loves to talk about his family, especially about his daughters to anyone who will listen. He is quite aggressive if his family is threatened and will put himself at risk to defend them. This is shown among other times when defending Myne against the High Priest twice even though he knows that attacking a noble would cost him his life. Gunther is described as being like a child, that can't tell reality and dream apart. He charges head-on without considering his surroundings or consequences, and feels frustrated if he doesn't reach his goal.
He easily gets jealour or pouty when his daughters praise other men in his presence without also praising him, but is easily put back into a good mood once they acknowledge his "greatness".

History

Gunther is the son of a woodworker and dreamed of becoming a knight after listening to minstrel tales of knights. He didn't gave up his dream and became a soldier who protected his city. He applied for apprenticeship at the gate asking the commander, who was also Effa's father, and was accepted. By the time Myne reached her fifth year, his dedicated service has earned him the position of Captain, the second in command at his local post.
The teams guarding each gate get relocated in regular intervals. At the start of the story Gunther is guarding the southern gate and thus often sees and interacts with the children going out to forage in the forst.

Story

Skill and Abilities

While not quite on the level of a professional craftsman, Gunther is still quite talented in woodworking.

Trivia

When Justus is seeking information about Myne from the soldiers at the gate where Gunther works, he was warned off by the soldiers not to bring up Gunther's daughters with Gunther as he will talk your ear off about them to you. Effa thinks Gunther is at fault for how Myne behaves. Gunther loves the refreshing feeling when drinking behelle after work. [1] His name was most likely inspired by the common German first names of Günther or Gunter. The use of ギュ (gyu) rather than グ (gu) makes the former the liklier candidate for the origin.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

The guildmaster is described as looking around his fifties, with broad shoulders. Though his normal appearance is that of a kind, albeit older man, his merchant mode is far scarier. He is described as usually wearing a smile.

Personality

Gustav is a conniving man with an instinct for profit. He is not above manipulation to get what he wants. He has a terrible aptitude for personal affairs though, and though he means well, tends to antagonize rather than support, especially in Benno's case.
Gustav has a mindset oriented towards the greater good of the City of Ehrenfest , prioritizing the stability between nobles and the lower city and taking care of its economic prosperity.

History

He and Benno have a fairly long-lived rivalry and don't get along well, although they do understand each other quite well. When Benno's father died, he offered to marry Benno's mother directly after his death. As Benno's mother married the person she loved, Gustav earned the whole family's hatred and starting the feud between Benno's and his family. After Benno's mother died shortly following her husband, Benno became the sole adult and took over the Gilberta Company. Benno just came of age and was therefore an inexperienced young man. Gustav didn't want to see the Gilberta Company and new hard-working talents crumbling down and offered his daughters for marriage to Benno, after Benno's fiancée Liz died. Benno, who loved Liz, was furious, deepening his hatred for Gustav. Later, Gustav offered his sons to Benno's sisters for marriage later. They all declined leaving Gustav perplexed to why all his well-meant offers were declined. Reaching present day, Gustav still hasn't understood the hostility directed at him from Benno and his family.

Trivia

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Hannelore is a rather quiet looking girl with light-pink, almost purple hair that she usually wears in two tails. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of red almost exactly like that of a proposal feystone dyed by someone born in winter. She is small for her age, though still taller than Rozemyne. [5]

Personality

Due to being reprimanded often during her strict upbringing, Hannelore is shy, timid, and unconfident. When it comes to people relationships, she is constantly worrying about whether she has caused displeasure in other people, making her appear hesitant and apologetic. She is nervous around large gatherings of people, and often laments about her poor timing and her brother Lestilaut's tendency of dragging her into trouble.
She didn't cared much about books previously because books in Dunkelfelger are mostly written in ancient texts and are tough to read, but came to love reading after getting introduced to Ehrenfest books. As such, she can become quite animated when discussing books with Rozemyne .

History

As relatives of Trauerqual 's third wife Magdalena , Hannelore and her brother Lestilaut occasionally visited her and her son Prince Hildebrand at their royal villa in the Sovereignty , but didn't form a particularly close relationship with the prince. [6]
In the past, Hannelore didn't care too much for books. But this changed when Lady Rozemyne of Ehrenfest lent her a book. Unlike the stories popular in Dunkelfelger, which tend to be written in euphemism-heavy, old, and difficult to read dialects, the book Rozemyne lent her was written in modern vernacular and both easy and fun to read. It also fit the young girl's taste for romance much closer than the popular Dunkelfelger literature which is almost exclusively about fighting in some form or the other. This awakened Hannelore to the joy of reading and made her eager to read more Ehrenfest books. [7]
Apart from older brother, Hannelore also has a seven years younger half-sister form her father's second wife. At the time she reaches the 4th grade at the Royal Acadmey, her grandmother and grandfather are still alive and she has at least two uncles, who are all available to supply their duchy's foundation, should the need arise. [4]

Retainers

Cordula - Hannelore's head attendant and the adult retainer she took along to the Royal Academy . [7]

Abilities and Skills


Ascendance of a Bookworm

Hartmut has amber (sometimes called “orange”) eyes and noticeable red hair. He smiles frequently and has a bright, peaceful expression. Rozemyne remarks that his way of speaking makes him sound exactly like Justus . [8] He is about 175 cm (5’9”) tall. [9]

Personality

Hartmut gives the impression of a friendly young man who loves talking to people and is quite good at gathering information. [10] Internally, he is more cynical and calculating than he appears.
Prior to becoming Rozemyne's retainer, his uncle described him as "exceedingly uncaring" and "infinitely stubborn." When he hears Rozemyne describing Hartmut as open-minded, he is surprised to the point of shock. Seeing the once uncaring boy being so devoted has become both a heartwarming sight, but also a point of worry for his family. [11] He is devoted to Rozemyne and praises her effusively to anyone who will listen, to the point where her other retainers are often exasperated by his rambling speeches.
Despite his eccentric attitude, Hartmut is exceedingly competent and has high standards for both himself and others. He judges other people primarily based on how useful they are (or aren’t) to Rozemyne, and is willing to do whatever he can to most effectively support her. He has shown a surprising willingness to treat commoners and grey priests respectfully and even allow them to teach him. This attitude is very much out of the ordinary among nobles in general, and archnobles in particular. [11]

History

Hartmut was born the youngest [10] of Ottilie and Leberecht’s three. [12] sons. His family is part of the Leisegang political faction . Due to his mother being a friend of Elvira , he and Cornelius spent a lot of time together as children. Before becoming a retainer, he worked under his uncle, who is also an archnoble scholar. [13]
When Hartmut entered the Royal Academy , he quickly became aware of his duchy's unfavourable position in the country. The victorious faction of the civil war distrusted and looked down on Ehrenfest for staying neutral, rather than helping whom they view as the legitimate Zent, and the losing faction resented them for rising in the ranks solely due to circumstance with no merit of their own, resulting in Ehrenfest having virtually no influence at all. In light of this big picture, he became painfully aware how insignificant and stupid the faction squabbling within their backwater duchy truly was, killing off any motivation he might once have had and reducing all his efforts to merely doing what was expected of someone of his status. Likewise, he lacked even the slightest urge to serve any of the short-sighted and ignorant Ehrenfest nobles, so caught up in their own little power-struggles they failed to notice how insignificant their entire duchy was right now. [14]
Upon learning of Rozemyne's existence he quickly deduced that she couldn't be Lady Elvira 's daughter and thus must be the daughter of Lord Karstedt 's second or third wife, meaning she was of mednoble stock. His mother being asked to serve a girl from such low status dismayed Hartmut, who perceived it as an insult to his family's status. [14] However, after seeing Rozemyne give a blessing to the crowd at her noble baptism , Hartmut was deeply moved. He became convinced that she was a true saint and someone worthy of being the next Aub Ehrenfest . [15]
When Hartmut heard that Wilfried committed the crime of entering the Ivory Tower, he told his mother that Rozemyne should have used the opportunity to cement her position as the next archduchess. Ottilie replied that Rozemyne thought “only of raising others up, not dragging them down” and advised him to support her in positive ways instead. Hartmut accordingly devoted himself to spreading the legends of her sainthood to as many people as possible. [15]
During the time Rozemyne spent unconscious in the jureve , Hartmut sharply criticized Cornelius and her guard knights for letting her be harmed. [16] He also gathered information at the Royal Academy in accordance with Rozemyne’s instructions, focusing on interduchy relations. Ferdinand was especially satisfied with his work.

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Heidi appears young for her age, and when Myne met Heidi, she assumed Heidi had just come of age, even though she is over 20 years old [1] . She has reddish-brown hair that is tied into a single braid and twisted into a bun and grey eyes that are filled with curiosity.

Personality

Myne comments that she thinks Heidi is "funny and hard working, but kind of weird" [1] to which Lutz replies "... You are one to talk." Benno also tells Lutz that he now has two Mynes to look after, showing that everyone who knows both of them think they are alike.
Heidi is focused on ink and is very curious to find out why the ink colour changes when making it, rather than finding out how to make more colours.
While she is focused on discovering new ink, she does think about the future and her husband.
