Description
Olav Friðmar, an elderly Álfur, serves as majordomo in Princess Astarotte Ygvar's manor. He stands 1.91 meters tall, weighs 73 kilograms, and sports gray hair in a ponytail, a handlebar mustache, and a chin puff goatee. His attire is a butler's uniform without a jacket; his eyes appear black in the anime and gray in the manga. Advanced age and chronic back problems have led to his semi-retirement, with Effie and Cú handling most active duties. Before Naoya Tohara's arrival, Olav held the unique distinction of being the only male permitted within Astarotte's household due to her aversion to men.
His personality exudes calmness, modesty, and deep care, often manifesting a grandfatherly demeanor towards the princess. Despite physical limitations from his fragile back, he approaches tasks with enthusiasm. A competitive streak surfaces occasionally, like his brief, painful attempt at crunches against Naoya. Olav composes haiku and demonstrates unwavering dedication to Astarotte's well-being, having known her since birth. He harbors no resentment over Judit replacing him as Grand Chamberlain, expressing gratitude for continuing to serve the princess. His primary concern is Astarotte's future health, especially her need to overcome her fear of men before adulthood.
Olav possesses a long history of service to Ygvarland's royal family. He worked under Queen Mercelída during Astarotte's infancy and held the Grand Chamberlain position at the princess's manor roughly a year before Naoya's arrival. Age-related health issues necessitated his semi-retirement. When Astarotte moved from the main palace to her own residence, she permitted Olav to remain as the sole male retainer. His tenure spans pivotal moments, including Mercelída's past interest in acquiring a human male for her harem—a fact Olav references without elaboration. Following Naoya's integration, Astarotte gradually accepts more men, eventually allowing another candidate, Leo, into her harem temporarily. Olav actively supports this development, approving of Naoya's positive influence.
His relationship with Astarotte is defined by protective loyalty and deep emotional investment, prioritizing her welfare above all as a steadfast paternal figure. Interactions with Judit reflect mutual respect and shared concern for the princess's maturation. His dynamic with Naoya combines professional courtesy with occasional lighthearted rivalry. Olav remains a symbol of continuity between Astarotte's isolated upbringing and her evolving acceptance of male companionship.
