Tuuli

Tuuli (トゥーリ, Tuuri) is the oldest daughter of Gunther and Effa, as well as the older sister of Myne and Kamil.

She works as a seamstress and is currently apprenticed as a leherl with the Gilberta Company, where she specializes in making hair ornaments.

Tuuli has blue-green hair, a mix of her mother Effa's green and her father Gunther's blue. After Myne wakes up, she has it tied up in a dirty braid. In the light novel and anime, Tuuli's bangs are shown to be centered, but in the manga, they are brushed to the right. She has blue eyes.

For her baptism, Tuuli's hair was cleaned and tied half-up. Tuuli is much cleaner than her age cohort due to Myne's insistence on frequent washing and use of shampoo.

Tuuli is practical, caring, and responsible young girl. From a young age she was forced to look after her sickly sister Myne. Myne frequently refers to her sister as an "angel" due to her sweet demeanor. Others in their neighborhood trust Tuuli to look after younger children when they make trips into the nearby forest for supplies.

Tuuli for all her responsibility is still a child at heart. She is not immune to bouts of anger and frustration towards Myne's more eccentric behaviors. Tuuli cares a great deal about her family and cried at the thought of losing Myne to her sickness.

Tuuli often acts as a foil to Myne. Where Tuuli is practical and mature, Myne is a daydreamer and self-interested. While Tuuli is considered the model child of the neighborhood, Myne is considered very weird and scary.

Tuuli was born in the summer before Myne as the oldest daughter of Gunther, a soldier, and Effa, a dye shop worker. Before Urano's memories awakened in Myne, Tuuli was often forced to take care of her sickly sister while her parents worked. This caused her to mature quicker and develop a strong sense of responsibility.

After Urano's reincarnation as Myne, Tuuli was able to gain a bit more free time and independence as Myne started learning to take care of herself. Prior to her baptism, Tuuli spent her days helping her mother Effa around the house and traveling to the forest to forage for food and firewood.

The summer Tuuli turned 7, she and all of the other children turning 7 that season traveled to the temple for their Baptism. Tuuli was registered as a citizen of Ehrenfest during that time.

Since a child needs a referral from a parent or family member to become an apprentice somewhere, children generally wind up in jobs similar to their parents. This was also the case for Tuuli as she was able to secure an apprenticeship as a seamstress through her mother's referral.

Through Myne's influence, Tuuli opens up connections with Corinna as a hair stick specialist. Corinna offers her a leherl contract, but Tuuli, concerned with the fact that as a leherl, she can no longer leave the shop, decides to take some time to think on it, and later accepts.

Even after having to break up any obvious contact with her family Myne covertly keeps in touch with her family by having Lutz slip letters to them and bring toys to Kamil. Some of those letters also contained instructions on how to make different kind of flower ornaments and lace. Once Tuuli figures out how to make them, she teachers other members of her workshop, gaining her something of a teaching position. She is also the most experienced hairpin craftswoman who can make the widest variety of ornaments, both of which securely solidified and justified her position as a leherl, despite coming from the poorest parts of the city.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 5 Recently Tuuli has been entrusted with tasks other than making hairpins and has shown quite some skill in designing and sewing dresses. At the age of 12 she already designed and a summer dress for Lady Rozemyne, which only required minor adjustments by Corinna to be deemed suitable to be presented to a high ranking noble. Rozemyne shows great interest in the dress, but is not in a position to outright accept it without first consulting with her mothers.

Once the dress design is shown to Florencia and Elvira with Charlotte - Rozemyne's younger sister - joining in, the nobles also make only minor adjustments, adding a bit of extra white lace, altering the decorative lace flowers and choosing a light blue colour that goes well with the seasonal divine colour and Rozemyne's pale skin, but leaving the core design untouched.
