Philine

Philine (フィリーネ, Firiine) is a laynoble apprentice scholar who serves as one of Rozemyne's retainers; Rozemyne is also her sponsor and de facto guardian.

She is the older sister of Konrad.

Philine is a cute girl with honey-coloured hair and grass-green eyes, a bit on the smaller size for her age. In Part 4 Volume 1, she is about 140 cm (4’7”) tall.

Philine has a quiet and humble personality, but can get rather animated when books or sweets are involved. She is also a hard worker, managing her duties as a retainer, her studies under Hartmut, and her side job transcribing stories, while also keeping up with the demanding pace of her classes.

Philine was born to a laynoble family as the daughter of Kashick and his previous wife, Theresia. Shortly after her little brother Konrad was born, their mother passed away. However, Philine fondly remembered the stories her mother used to tell her.

Kashick later remarried a woman named Jonsara, who became Philine and Konrad's stepmother. She treated her stepchildren coldly from the beginning, but her abuse worsened after she gave birth to a son and heir.

At one point she tried to take away Philine's compiled stories, but her father returned them shortly after since they were written on paper that was gifted to Philine by Lady Rozemyne and it would be unwise to disrespect a gift from the archduke's family.
