Description
Effa, mother to Myne, Tuuli, and Kamil, is married to the soldier Gunther. She works as a dyer at the Heuss Workshop in Ehrenfest's lower city. In her mid-twenties, she possesses jade-green hair and green eyes, typically tied up and covered with a kerchief. Commoners consider her beautiful, appreciating her health, household skills, and strength, though some neighbors expressed surprise at her marriage to Gunther, whom they viewed as goofy and less desirable.
Her father served as a former gate commander in Ehrenfest, where Effa met Gunther during his apprenticeship. Gunther persistently pursued her, eventually winning her affection and her father's blessing. Their courtship culminated when he declared his desire to protect the city and family, a sentiment Effa respected without ridicule.
Effa exhibits a practical, even-tempered nature but becomes exasperated by wastefulness or eccentric behavior, especially from Gunther and Myne. She shares creative talents with her elder daughter Tuuli, excelling in textile work and sewing. Her self-made garments, like Tuuli's baptism dress, draw neighborhood admiration. She learns new skills quickly, mastering crocheting after briefly observing Myne.
Maternal devotion defines her. She tirelessly cared for Myne during severe childhood illnesses, telling bedtime stories and managing frequent tantrums. Effa experienced multiple pregnancy losses: one miscarriage, two infant deaths, and another miscarriage before Kamil's birth, underscoring her resilience and deep investment in her surviving children.
During Myne's early fevers and recoveries, Effa taught practical skills like market numeracy. She scolded Myne for food wastage after fruit-smashing incidents yet supported inventive efforts like homemade shampoo. She contributed to Myne's baptism accessories by mastering crochet techniques for hair ornaments.
Effa faced significant trauma when nobles orchestrated Myne's adoption, forcing the family to fake Myne's death. She later motivated Gunther through his grief, emphasizing moving forward for their newborn Kamil. Her protective instincts peaked when she defied a noble to shield Myne, risking execution.
After Myne's adoption, Effa maintained indirect connections through shared projects, advising on dye techniques for color printing. Her role evolved into nurturing Kamil while upholding household stability, reflecting adaptability amid familial upheaval.
