Karla

Karla (カルラ Karura) is the mother of Myne's best friend Lutz. She is a larger woman who loves her family and wants the best for them.

Karla is a loving mother, however; she appears to be somewhat overwhelmed with raising four boys, initially not realizing how much Lutz was suffering at the hands of his brothers until they had a heart-to-heart talk. Like her husband she is deeply prejudiced against merchants, but was willing to support her son's ambition anyway after some explaining.

Karla loves to gossip and talk.

Like her husband Deid, Karla's deep-rooted prejudice against merchants caused her to initially strongly oppose Lutz's dream of becoming one himself. Apart from the prejudice she assumed that he had been dragged along by Myne or that it was just an unrealistic dream like any boys have of becoming a knight and such that would fade over time.

Once she learns that rather than Lutz being dragged into the merchant business by Myne, it is more like the other way around and upon seeing how hard he's working to achive this dream, she starts to give him her full support. This is unfortunately not enough to convince her husband and other children, leading Lutz to run away from home.

This caused Karla to become very quiet and visibly lose weight. After some time has passed Karla tries to get Lutz back by going directly to the Gilberta Company and almost makes it all the way to Benno's rooms, before his right-hand-man Mark manages to turn her away by unknown means that seem to have left her with a lingering fear of the man.

Upon Myne's work suffering from her brooding over Lutz's situation the High Priest interrogates her about the situation and decides to personally intervene, partially to teach Myne the proper way to resolve conflicts and partially to "repair his calculator".

Much to Karla's surprise Deid, Lutz and herself are thus summoned to the temple and under the High Priest's mediations manage to talk things out and resolve the issue that has been mainly caused by misunderstandings due to both sides inability to properly express themselves to each other.

This resulted in Lutz's older brothers bullying him. Once she understands what is happening, she begins to discipline his older brothers. Karla was also initially against Lutz becoming a merchant, thinking he was being dragged along by Myne, however, she changed her mind to support Lutz when she finds out that it is his true wish and how hard he's beenworking to achieve it.


 * Karla wishes that she had a daughter to help her around the house.
