Gunther/Relationships

Gunther, as a family man, loves his family above everyone else.

Gunther fell in love with Effa, the daughter of a gate commander, visiting her every day. In the manner of the knight's tales that inspired him to become a soldier to protect the city, he presents a feystone to her and proposes to her. Effa is just as much a dreamer as he is. Gunther's proposal story is famous among the neighbours. Gunther values his wife highly and listens to her.

Gunther's loves his first daughter, Tuuli, as he loves his whole family. He does his best to protect her. During Tuuli's baptism, he almost gets in trouble for not going to the meeting involving a noble to perform his fatherly duties and leaves as quickly as he can once it's over.

Gunther and Myne have a special relationship, as due to Myne's sickly nature, he and his wife feared that she would die young. As Myne strengthens, he supports her, but does not hold high expectations for her, letting her pursue her dreams however she wishes. He is constantly surprised at her tenacity and skill in obtaining what she wants. Gunther loves her dearly, defending her from the High Bishop to protect her, and later fighting against the Devouring soldiers to protect her from being kidnapped by Count Bindewald. He misses her dearly once she "dies," and spends a while in a bad mood, even hitting his commanding officer after he said something about Myne.

Gunther's youngest is his son Kamil. Gunther loves his son and follows Myne's advice on hygiene and baby care to protect him from illness.

Otto, a fellow soldier at the gate, is Gunther's drinking buddy. They often talk about Myne and have a similar disposition to talk on and on about their family. Gunther was once jealous of Otto, when Myne liked him as he taught her the alphabet. Gunther trusts Otto, even letting Myne work under him.
