Brunhilde

Brunhilde (ブリュンヒルデ, Buryunhirude) is attendant apprentice serving as Rozemyne’s retainer.

Brunhilde has light brown (sometimes described as “amber” ) eyes and straight crimson hair. She is a fashionable girl.

Brunhilde is driven and self-assured. When she first entered Rozemyne's service, there was no nervousness or doubt in her mind, just a certainty that she would succeed at her new job with aplomb.

She is vivacious and loves to talk, and she has an enthusiasm for starting fashionable trends. Rozemyne reflects that while she is generally “elegant and mature,” she becomes more expressive when discussing her interests.

Brunhilde is the daughter of the third Giebe Groschel and his first wife. She was raised to succeed her father and become the next giebe.

Because their parents visited often, Brunhilde became childhood friends with Leonore. Their bond later deepened when they were both chosen as Rozemyne’s retainers.

Brunhilde’s parents urged her to accept a position as Rozemyne's attendant and use it to the political advantage of the Leisegang faction. She was assigned to gather information on Rozemyne and bring her closer to their faction.

On a personal level, her own main motivation for seeking to be employed by Rozemyne was her desire to be part of starting new trends. With Rozemyne starting several significant trends right after joining noble society, the young archduke candidate made the perfect mistress to persue a working relationship with.

When Rozemyne assigned the Royal Academy students to gather information, Brunhilde focused on fashion trends in other duchies. Florencia and Elvira praised her for her hard work.

At the nobles’ winter gifting ceremony, Rozemyne encounters Brunhilde and remembers meeting her in the winter playroom three years previously. While Brunhilde is eager to talk to her, Charlotte intervenes to handle the conversation on her behalf.

When Rozemyne arrives at the Ehrenfest dormitory at the Royal Academy, Brunhilde once again approaches her and talks enthusiastically about her dream of spreading fashion trends to the Sovereignty. Rozemyne later sees her on the pre-vetted list of retainer candidates and selects her as an attendant.

Brunhilde is delighted to be chosen and immediately begins planning how to spread Ehrenfest’s trends at the Royal Academy. However, Rozemyne cautions her to be mindful of their position as a middle duchy and act slowly. They later decide together to have all the Ehrenfest girls use rinsham before the advancement ceremony.

Later, Brunhilde helps the other girls design new outfits for Schwartz and Weiss. She initially suggests that they should wait for Rozemyne before discussing it, but later gives in and starts proposing her own ideas.
