!Ellenstein Household

to:

!Ellenstein HouseholdThe Ellenstein family is an old noble family of Finsel. Though the Ellenstein family was not among the Saint's earliest followers, they moved to Finsel when it was still just a small village and joined the Senate. However, at some point before the start of the game 10 years ago, they were ejected from the Senate in disgrace. Their patron is Duke Langwon Sakan.

* {{Irony}}: As much as Magda dislikes Cynthia, there’s an entire set named "Thistles and Roses" that practically transformed Magda into Cynthia, albeit less shady-looking.

The player character, a sweet, somewhat naive young lady thrust into the world of courtly intrigue and the politics of nobility.

* BadassBureaucrat: [[spoiler:Has shades of this in season two.]]
** BeleagueredBureaucrat: [[spoiler:The political situation in Finsel is unstable, foreign powers all have their eyes on the city, and Magda has to juggle paperwork at the same time. She finally gets a reprieve when she hires Nyx as her undersecretary.]]
* BiTheWay: She can romance both men and women.
* ClashingCousins: Cynthia, Eliza's niece, is the only named NPC Magda shows hostility towards from the start. While it's suggested that she sees Cynthia as a [[GreenEyedMonster rival]] for her mother's affection, her suspicions of Cynthia having a hidden agenda quickly prove to be true.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Both her parents died in a fire and she lost her home. Though her adopted mother holds genuine affection for her and has given her a better life than she would have had on the streets, the fact remains that she was taken in for the purpose of elevating the Ellenstein family back into its former status in Finsel society and is expected to act as a spy for Eliza's anonymous patron.
* GuileHero: Magda has about as much physical self-defence ability as you'd expect out of an upper-class young lady—which is to say none—but she's possessed of a sharp and inquisitive mind, finely-honed powers of persuasion, and no small amount of guts. Once she enters Finsel high society it doesn't take long before she's embroiled in all kinds of mysteries and secret plots, and several characters (such as Barris) become convinced that Magda has the potential to be a powerful force for change.
* HappilyAdopted
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her default appearance sports blonde hair and she is a nice, sweet girl.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Subverted. The player is prompted to enter a name for her at the start of the game, but when Eliza adopts her she's re-named "Magda" and told to forget the name she had before.
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Magda throws a cup out of the window and warns Cynthia that that will be her if she ever hurts Eliza.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Her most commonly remarked-on feature, although the game does allow the player to change eye colour.
* NumberTwo: Becomes this to [[spoiler:Juven at the end of the main story, serving as the secretary of the Senate when he becomes Regent of Finsel.]]
* PlayerCharacter
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards her adoptive mother, Eliza.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: People always remind us that she has a magnificent pair of blue eyes.

Magda's adoptive mother, a fallen noble who owes a debt to a mysterious patron.

* IWasQuiteALooker: She draws references to the Crescent Moon of Ellenstein set, which could be exactly how she looked when she was young. Stock NPC dialogue also includes the belief that Magda has inherited her considerable beauty from Eliza.
