Katharina Linda von Waigel

Katharina Linda von Waigel is one of Wend's wives. She was previously a solo veteran adventurer prior to joining his party.

Appearance
Katharina has long violet-colored hair, which she keeps in two "drill" curls, claiming it's the only style that controls her bad "bed-head" while also maintaining an appropriately noble appearance.

Personality
She is a headstrong (former) noble who has a strong belief in the traditions of the nobility. As such, she has a tendency to be overly concerned with "keeping up appearances" in accordance to her perceived status. At some point prior to meeting Wend, she also became very hostile and provocative towards others, due to her always being singled out by those who wished to take advantage of her. This caused Wend to initially peg her as having a "loner" type personality.

She is also very determined and willing to do just about anything in order to bring back her collapsed noble house.

Katharina gets immediately flustered by unexpected sexual innuendo from Wend, and has general concerns about her weight, as her main weakness is chocolate.

She is also easily embarrassed, to the point of stereo-typically crying into Elise's lap when Wend "accidentally" saw her naked, and turning beet-red when she confessed/proposed to him.

Synopsis
Katharina was only 5 years old when her family was caught in the crossfire of a fight between nobles. The sheer shock of losing their home caused both her grandparents and her parents to die, leaving her alone and the only one left to care for her populace.

She then used her talent for wind magic to hunt for prey to feed her populace and started to train to be a magic hunter in order to pile up achievements in order to gain enough reputation to have her noble house reinstated.

By the age of 16, she was already widely accepted as the strongest mage in the west quarter of the country, but was refused any noble status on the count of her being a woman, causing her to seek out and defeat Wend in order to gain enough clout to change the minds of the nobles in the capital.

Abilities & Powers
Katharina is known by many under her adventurer's moniker "Storm". She is one of the best magicians in the Helmut Kingdom, as she belongs to the Advanced category in terms of mana. Her actual magic skill level is quite close to Well's, except when it comes to mana capacity.

She is most proficient at controlling the wind attribute, however she is not as good with the water attribute. Despite that slight handicap, her large mana capacity ensures that she can still easily defeat most of the other magicians.

When she first met Well, she challenged him to a contest of who could collect more loot by hunting monsters from the demon forest. However, when Well soundly defeated her, she made a lot of excuses saying that it was a "best of 7 days" type of bout instead.

Later on during the conflict between the Baumeister Household and the Browig Household, she also fought duels against their court magicians and ended up capturing at least two of them.

Trivia

 * Katharina's status among the wives is third, behind Elise as first/legal wife and Wilmal as second. This is due to the fact that Wilmal, though technically the daughter of a low-ranked retainer, was adopted by a high-ranking minister. She ranks above Louise and Iina, who were the daughters of retainers without titles.
 * Katharina is awarded the noble rank of "honorary" Baronet at the time her noble lineage is reinstated. The family's actual knighthood will be awarded to her son. The honorary rank is remarkable, as in the Helmut kingdom, women can't actually hold noble titles, which is why so many second and beyond sons marry into other households as a "bridegroom" -- becoming adopted at the time of marriage, allowing them to inherit the title since the woman they are marrying cannot.
