Bettina

Bettina (ベティーナ, Betiina) is a former Ahrensbach mednoble who married Freuden of Ehrenfest.

The marriage between Bettina and Freuden had been blocked by Aub Ehrenfest refusing to give his permission on account of the strained political relationship between their respective home duchies. At the Archduke Conference following Rozemyne's first term at the Royal Academy however, Aub Ahrensbach managed to convince him to give his permission, allowing the marriage to go ahead.

Due to the highly unusual situation, instead of waiting for the next regular Starbind Ceremony Bettina and Freuden, as well as Aurelia and Lamprecht are wedded directly at the border gate between the two duchies, in the presence of both archducal families, on account of Aurelia being Aub Ahrensbach's niece.

Following the ceremony and the move to her new home, Bettina quickly gets involved with members of the former Veronica faction.

At the following winter socializing Rozemyne isn't able to spot anyone with a face-veil other than Aurelia, leading her to believe that unlike her fellow Ahrensbach bride, Bettina is not wearing a face-veil while in Ehrenfest, despite her close association with the Ahrensbach aligned nobles of the former Veronica faction.
