Anselm

Anselm is a noble from Berschmann, currently studying at the Royal Academy.

Anselm appears to be a polite young man, though how much of this is due to his nature and how much due to him only being seen speaking with nobles of a higher-ranked duchies is unclear at this point.

Anselm is taking part in the same history and geography classes for first year students and Roderick and Philine in their first year at the academy. Due to being from the 14th-ranked duchy, Anselm is seated right next to Philine olf the 13th. Before their first class after the exam begins, he inquires how Ehrenfest students spend all the free time they gained from finishing their written classes on the first day.

When he learns about Lady Rozemyne giving out crest work even to students of other duchies, he is very interested and says he will inquire once he has finished his classes. This sentiment is shared by his fellow med- and laynobles within earshot of the conversation, since first-year students in particular have only few ways to earn money.
