Judithe/Story

When Rozemyne greets her fellow students in the Ehrenfest dormitory, Judithe is eagerly talking about her admiration for Angelica. Rozemyne recalls seeing her in passing in the winter playroom several years before. Not sure what to make of Judithe’s effusive praise, Angelica avoids eye contact and comments that she’s a “weird girl”.

Judithe shares a room with Philine. Later in the school term, she worries that Philine’s poor grades combined with her low social status will make life difficult for her. Even though she is only a second year and thus not in the knight's course yet, she still tries to join her seniors' training, but is rebuffed by Cornelius who tells her to instead concentrate on studying for the time being, so her grades are wrothy of a retainer to an archduke candidate.

When Dunkelfelger and Ehrenfest play a match of treasure-stealing ditter to settle a dispute over Schwartz and Weiss, Judithe is a member of the Ehrenfest team. Due to her skill and accuracy with a slingshot, she is chosen to accompany Rozemyne and Leonore on Lessy. She later follows Rozemyne’s instructions and shoots a dyed feystone into the mouth of the opposing team’s captive feybeast, which gives Ehrenfest a pivotal advantage in the match and ultimately leads to their victory.

After the match ends, Judithe and Leonore help to critique the performance of the Ehrenfest team using the insight they gathered watching the battle from the sky.

When Rozemyne is ordered to return to Ehrenfest partway through the school term, Judithe is the only apprentice knight who has not yet finished all of her practical classes. She is very disappointed to be left behind.

In Rozemyne's absence, Judithe accompanies Philine on her trips to the library, after Hartmut und Brunhilde voice concerns for Philine's safety on her own. This is also a chance for Judithe to earn some money on the side and would have gone to the library anyway to study. Albeit the light armour she wears for this purpose is irritating her during studying, it is well worth it for her.

The reason why she needs to study so hard is due to being unaware of the academic expections for guard knights to archduke candidates, which she only learned of when Rozemyne awoke, thus she prioritized knight's training in her summer and autumn over studying.

In talks with Philine Judithe confesses that she originally planned to be a Kirnberger knight in service of Giebe Kirnberger, but has since shifted to being Rozemyne's guard knight, in large part out of admiration of Angelica. Despite having since learned of Angelica's true nature, her admiration only grew since then.

After finishing all her second year courses, Judithe asks for permission to join the training of the guard knights. Rudolf, having experienced Leonore's merciless training firsthand, tries to warn her away. However, Leonore grabs hold of Judithe's cape before she can escape. She is then put through the same hellish training as the apprentice knights. She finishes the day sprawled on the ground, too exhausted to care about looking unladylike.

After finishing their first year at the Royal Academy, Rozemyne's new retainers began to also serve her at the archduke's castle. Judithe is eager to help, because she had been unable to serve Rozemyne when she was left behind at the Royal Academy. However, she is disappointed to learn that she will be trained by Bonifatius rather than serve as a guard knight.

During the Interduchy Tournament's ditter match Ehrenfest is pitted against a Hundertteilung, a feybeast that splits apart into many smaller fragments. Against this kind of foe Judithe's abilities in ranged combat can truly shines and she takes out many of the beast's fragments with her throwing knives.
