Rihyarda

Rihyarda is an Old Retainer who Sylvester makes Rozemyne's head attendant while she is in Archduke's Castle. The Temple retainers are not allowed to go to the castle. She knew Sylvester, Ferdinand and Karstedt (top Nobles of Ehrenfest) when they were children and was Sylvester's nanny, which gives her certain privileges. As a result, every time Rickyarda interacts with Ferdinand, she calls him "my boy" (literal translation to the word would be closer to "young inexperienced (rich) boy that is master's son") and never Ferdinand or high priest, to his constant frustration and embarrassment. And responds to his claims that he is a grown man of twenty that she will stop calling him "my boy" once he gets married, because he is not an adult until he does. Rickyarda is possibly the only person in the world who can browbeat Ferdinand into doing anything he doesn't want to do.

She as Rozemynes says "a Truly old looking woman who seemed like a physical manifestation of the work "granny". She guides Rozemyne around the castle and also picks her up quite easily as she quite strong. Rihyarda also is very efficient with changing / bathing Rozemyne and does it very quickly.
