Wilma

Wilma (ヴィルマ Biruma) is a character that appears in the Ascendance of a Bookworm series.

Along with Rosina, Wilma was a former attendant of the blue shrine maiden apprentice Christine when she was a priestess in the temple. She was treated differently from the other grey attendants because of her artistic talents during Sister Christine's time. After Christine left the temple, her attendants were returned to the orphanage, where Wilma takes upon the task to look after the unbaptised orphans.

A blue priest tricked her into flower offering (intercourse) once, which was luckily prevented by Sister Christine rescueing her. Since then she suffers from androphobia (fear of men).

Myne offers Wilma to become her attendant, which she initially refused, due to her androphobia and her responsibility for the unbaptised orphans. Rosina gives Myne insight into Wilma's past and the reason why she is hesitant. As Myne still wishes for Wilma to become her attendant, she proposed favourable terms, allowing her to stay in the orphanage. Wilma gladly accepts Myne's offer and becomes her attendant.

Myne respects Wilma's decisions and minds Wilma's situation which is shown by her act of taking Rosina to the orphanage for visits instead of Fran and Myne's effort to think of a solution to Wilma's problem.

Wilma's artistic talent lies in drawing and painting, which Myne then puts to use in the crafts she is making.

Rozemyne wants to create illustrations for her charity concert to sell as merchandise. After Wilma saw a drawing of Ferdinand by Rosina, she voluntarily decides to go and see Ferdinand for herself, thus being able to create the illustrations.

Trivia

 * Wilma thinks that Ferdinand has the perfect features, regarding artistic aesthetics, resulting in her drawings making him look all sparkly and prince-like.
 * Wilma can only draw things she can picture in her head. As she grew up in the temple's orphanage, she only knows about the gods.
 * Wilma is a hard-working, warm-hearted and sincere girl.
 * She wants to give the same love she received herself when she grew up in the orphanage to the other orphans.
