Florencia

Florencia (フロレンツィア, Furorentsia) is the first wife of Sylvester, the archduke of Ehrenfest. She is the mother of Wilfried, Charlotte, and Melchior and the adoptive mother of Rozemyne.

Florencia has indigo eyes and straight, light-blonde hair that is close to silver. She has a peaceful smile and gives off the impression of a gentle, refined beauty.

In contrast to her demure appearance, Florencia has a cool head and a firm attitude. She is a strict, no-nonsense mother and one of the few people who can keep tabs on Sylvester and Wilfried. Even when she is deeply upset or angry, she can maintain perfect composure.

Florencia was born the daughter of the previous Aub Frenbeltag, making her an archduke candidate of Frenbeltag (Duchy). However, her older brother was favored to inherit, while Florencia was expected to make a political marriage.

At age ten, she entered the Royal Academy. Two years later, Sylvester entered the academy as well. During their school years, he fell in love with her. Although it is considered very rare for a noblewoman to marry a younger man, he went to great lengths to persuade her and her family to accept his courtship. Finally, he won their approval to escort Florencia at the graduation ceremony.

After Sylvester came of age, Florencia married him and moved to Ehrenfest as his first and only wife. However, she was immediately ostracized by Veronica, her new mother-in-law. Florencia found sympathy and support with Elvira and joined her political faction. Although Elvira remained the leader of the faction, it became called the "Florencia" faction due to her higher rank.

When Florencia gave birth to her first child Wilfried, Veronica claimed that it would be dangerous to trust him to someone who had just married into the family. As a result, Florencia was denied control over her son's upbringing and education and was only able to see him briefly during family dinners. Because her time with her son was so limited, she didn't realize that Wilfried's education was going very poorly.

Satisfied with her control over Wilfried, Veronica had no interest in Florencia's other two children, Charlotte and Melchior. Florencia was able to raise the two of them with all the love and strictness they needed to become proper archduke candidates. Under her mother's guidance, Charlotte quickly surpassed her older brother in practically every single subject despite being a year younger.

When Sylvester decided to adopt Rozemyne as his daughter, Florencia accepted it as the best choice for Ehrenfest.

Florencia welcomed Rozemyne into her family with open arms. She attended tea parties with Elvira and Rozemyne and supported Rozemyne's charity concert.

When Rozemyne and Wilfried swapped roles for a day, she first realised Wilfried's dire state and also blamed Sylvester for Wilfried's state. From then on she wants to take Wilfried's education into her hands as well, as she was unable before due to Veronica.

 * She is the youngest daughter of the previous Aub Frenbeltag, who was killed during the political purge, and is the younger sister of the current Aub Frenbeltag.
