Myne/Relationships

Myne's family consists of her father Gunther, her mother, Effa, her sister, Tuuli and her brother Kamil. Myne loves her family deeply and would rather die than be separated from them.

In the beginning, Myne's relationship with her father is problematic, as Myne sees him as a stranger. In addition, Urano's father died when she was very young, making it hard for her to interact. She finds his love for his family and for her strange and alien. However, over the course of the story, she grows closer to him, and learning how much he loves his family and how protective he is of them, to the point where he would confront a noble and risk death to protect his children inspires Myne. Myne loves her father dearly and adopts his tenaciousness when family gets involves as she values it highly.

Though in the beginning of her reincarnation, Myne rejects her love for her mother, Effa as she doesn't know her, similarly to how she grew to love her father, she grows to love her over time as well. Effa's loving care during illness and healthiness alike helps her love her mother unconditionally. She also respects her mother and listens to her. Myne admires her skill in sowing and later cooking.

Though the original Myne, before Urano's arrival, was jealous of her sister Tuuli's health and ability, Myne later only admires said sister's strength, ability, and responsibility. Myne and Tuuli have a good sibling relationship and care for each other deeply.

Though Myne "dies" not long after Kamil's birth, Myne loves her brother as she loves her whole family, and started making picture books for him once she knew he was coming. Myne is very protective of her brother, constantly pushing hygiene and care for her brother over tradition.

Myne does not often meet with her neighbours, due to the Devouring, but she has some close friends, notably Lutz.

Lutz is Myne's closest friend and confidant. Myne earns his trust and loyalty early in the story, and he is the only one in the lower city who knows her secret of coming from a different world. She supports him nd his dreams, and does her best to help him reach them, helping him sort out his apprenticeship with Benno, help him work through family communication problems, and teaching math and writing. In return, Lutz watches over her health, enabling her to do things, and supports her by helping her make whatever she needs, from paper to books. Myne sees Lutz as her closest friend.

Benno is a merchant that guides Myne through the process of selling her inventions to make money. He is her financial guardian, and though he realizes something is off about Myne, he decides to ignore it in favor of the profit and change she brings. Benno is a reliable help in both proving information about the city matters and situation as well as a good source of scolding Myne for her lack of tact and common sense. Myne trusts Benno to negotiate in her best interests.
