Philine

Philine (フィリーネ Firiine) is a laynoble who had her winter debut at the same time as Rozemyne. She has expressed an interest in picture books.

She is a very cute looking young girl with honey coloured hair and green eyes, a bit on the smaller size for her age.

She has a rather quiet and humble personality, but can get rather animated when books or sweets are involved.

Philine's mother has passed away and she wanted to remember the stories which her mother told her. She approaches Rozemyne during the winter socialising in the children's playroom, where the noble childern introduce themselves to Wilfried and Rozemyne. Rozemyne takes an interest in her as she passionately tries to recall her mother's stories, that she were told when growing up. Rozemyne offers to write down her stories in the beginning and later gives her the task to write down the stories herself. While Rozemyne is sleeping she keeps writing all the stories she can remember, which helps her learning reading and writing.

Upon entering the Royal Academy her shared appreciation for literature and friendship with Rozemyne leads the archduke candidate to take Philine on as a retainer - a great honor for a laynoble. Philine is one of the very few retainers of Rozemyne's who didn't come with recommendations from adults and were chosen solely by Rozemyne's own will.

She serves Rozemyne as a scholar. She is normally tasked to carry around paper and ink for Rozemyne when she moves around, so she can take notes where needed and transcribes books in the library.
