The daughter of a wealthy aristocratic family in the capital.
Tao is her private tutor and they’re really close. She was raised in a perfect environment and always had everything she needed, but that didn’t make it a happy upbringing. Pattyâs father Volker Abelheim taught her how to use the sword. He’s an ex-knight to the royal family.
Clifford Diswell (Eiji Takemoto)
Clifford calls himself a treasure hunter, but more like a thief. He’s incredibly dexterous and showcases a playful behavior, but can also act serious at times.
Volker Abelheim (Tarusuke Shingaki)
Volker was initially a commoner, but became one of the best knights of the kingdom, and was granted nobility. He is very strict on himself, acting as a noble at all times. This reflected on the education of his daughter.
Volker doesn’t seem to be a party member.
