Description
Hildegard von Mariendorf was born in 777 UC as the sole daughter of Count Franz von Mariendorf, a noble within the Goldenbaum Dynasty. Her mother died during her youth, and her father respected her independent ideas. Unlike most aristocratic women, she showed little interest in traditional hobbies like jewels or dresses, instead pursuing studies in political science, history, and military strategy.
During the Imperial Civil War in 797 UC, she advised her father against supporting Duke Otto von Braunschweig, advocating instead for alignment with Reinhard von Lohengramm. After securing her father's consent, she arranged a meeting with Reinhard, offering her family's support in exchange for preserving their financial holdings. This meeting established her relationship with Reinhard, who was impressed by her insight and appointed her as his personal secretary and advisor. Throughout the civil war, she focused on consolidating Reinhard's political power on Odin and laying groundwork for social and political reforms.
Following the civil war, she assisted Reinhard in implementing sweeping reforms that dismantled the aristocracy, eliminated corruption, and increased liberties for the populace. She opposed Reinhard's initial plans to invade the Free Planets Alliance, arguing that consolidating domestic rule and addressing residual aristocratic threats were more urgent than creating an external enemy.
During Operation Ragnarök (798–799 UC), she served as a staff officer aboard Reinhard's flagship *Brünhild*. At the Battle of Vermilion, recognizing a tactical disadvantage when Reinhard's strategy endangered his fleet, she independently devised a contingency plan. She persuaded admirals Mittermeyer and Reuenthal to besiege the Alliance capital Heinessen instead of reinforcing Reinhard. This maneuver forced the Alliance's unconditional surrender and directly enabled Reinhard's strategic victory.
In August 800 UC, after an assassination attempt left Reinhard emotionally devastated over his inaction during the Westerland Massacre, he asked her to stay with him overnight. The next day, Reinhard proposed marriage, citing his rejection of the Goldenbaum Dynasty's lecherous traditions. She declined initially, expressing uncertainty about his motives and her own feelings. Later, during Oskar von Reuenthal's rebellion, she discovered she was pregnant. Informing Reinhard led her to accept his renewed marriage proposal. They wed in early 801 UC.
After Reinhard's death, she became regent for their son, Alexander Siegfried von Lohengramm. Reinhard's final advice informed her regency: he advised her that Alexander should not rule if deemed unfit, and she should establish a constitutional framework for the throne if appropriate. Her reign focused on stabilizing the nascent Lohengramm Dynasty and guiding its institutional development.
