Corinna/Story

Myne first meets Corinna when she visits her home as part of a trade she made with Otto. Otto would supply Myne with nails in exchange for a jar of All-in-one-Shampoo and teaching Corinna how to apply it. After Otto hovers around for a bit and is annoying, Myne manages to appeal to his manners to get him out of the room so she can work in peace and quiet. This also enables Corinna to inquire with Myne how well Otto is doing at work. Since he gave up his life as a traveling merchant and his chance to open a shop in another city for her, Corinna is worried he might be unhappy, but Myne reassures her that the merchant spirit is still very strong in Otto and while he is officially employed as a soldier, he still does a considerable amount of trading and haggling when buying supplies for the gate, which comes as a great relief to Corinna. Upon seeing her freshly washed and sparkling hair, Otto almost loses himself. He quickly gets rid of Myne so he can have some time along with his wife.

She's tasked with sewing and adjusting Myne's ceremonial robes. Myne ordered them made in a special way that would sew in more fabric than needed so it could be led out later once the girl grew up, so she could keep using it for longer. For this Corinna invited Effa to get more details, since she had done a similar thing for Myne's baptism dress.

Unfortunately the robes did not survive long enough to make use of this and was damaged beyond repair soon after. The person who ordered a replacement was none other than the Commander of the Knight's Order himself. Corinna charged him a hefty express fee, since she and her subordinates had to push several other orders back to finish the new ceremonial robes in time before the winter ceremonies in the temple.

Not long after meeting Myne for the first time, Corinna finds out she is pregnant. She eventually gave birth to a healthy girl they call Renate.

Upon Benno founding the Plantin Company to seperate the new products from the traditional Gilberta portfolio of clothing and apparel and moves to live above his new shop, Otto takes over as the manager of the Gilberta Company and the pair and their daughter move to the second floor of the building.

She takes an interest in Tuuli when first meeting her. Tuuli later approaches Corinna and secures a promise to be taken on as an apprentice in the Gilberta Company when her current lehange contract runs out at the age of 10. To secure Tuuli and her connections with Lady Rozemyne for the store, Corinna offers the young girl a leherl position, which she eventually accepts.
