Tuuli/Story

After Urano's reincarnation as Myne, Tuuli was able to gain a bit more free time and independence as Myne started learning to take care of herself. Prior to her baptism, Tuuli spent her days helping her mother Effa around the house and traveling to the forest to forage for food and firewood.

The summer Tuuli turned 7, she and all of the other children turning 7 that season traveled to the temple for their Baptism. Tuuli was registered as a citizen of Ehrenfest during that time.

Since a child needs a referral from a parent or family member to become an apprentice somewhere, children generally wind up in jobs similar to their parents. This was also the case for Tuuli as she was able to secure an apprenticeship as a seamstress through her mother's referral.

Through Myne's influence, Tuuli opens up connections with Corinna as a hair stick specialist. Corinna offers her a leherl contract, but Tuuli, concerned with the fact that as a leherl, she can no longer leave the shop, decides to take some time to think on it, and later accepts.

Even after having to break up any obvious contact with her family Myne covertly keeps in touch with her family by having Lutz slip letters to them and bring toys to Kamil. Some of those letters also contained instructions on how to make different kind of flower ornaments and lace. Once Tuuli figures out how to make them, she teachers other members of her workshop, gaining her something of a teaching position. She is also the most experienced hairpin craftswoman who can make the widest variety of ornaments, both of which securely solidified and justified her position as a leherl, despite coming from the poorest parts of the city.

Recently Tuuli has been entrusted with tasks other than making hairpins and has shown quite some skill in designing and sewing dresses. At the age of 12 she already designed and a summer dress for Lady Rozemyne, which only required minor adjustments by Corinna to be deemed suitable to be presented to a high ranking noble. Rozemyne shows great interest in the dress, but is not in a position to outright accept it without first consulting with her mothers.

Once the dress design is shown to Florencia and Elvira with Charlotte - Rozemyne's younger sister - joining in, the nobles also make only minor adjustments, adding a bit of extra white lace, altering the decorative lace flowers and choosing a light blue colour that goes well with the seasonal divine colour and Rozemyne's pale skin, but leaving the core design untouched.

While several of her colleagues have improved their skill in making hairpins to the point where they are seen fit to work on orders by nobles, Tuuli is still the foremost expert for making hairpins and the only one capable of the high standards expect of orders for royalty.

Shortly before Tuuli's baptism, she visits the temple on business, for Lady Rozemyne to order new clothes and a hairpin and manages to communicate that she very definitely does not want any special treatment in her coming of age.

When it is time for the ceremony, the regular blessing comes out the same size as in every other regular coming of age ceremony. However, when the new adults start to leave the chapel, a second, much bigger blessing slips out of Rozemyne. She is quick to explain that this was a demonstration for the apprentice blue robes, lined at the side of the chapel and is backed up by the High Priest, but Tuuli knows better and glares daggers at her sister for causing a fuss again, before leaving.
