***Ludwig Wilhelm Pummel*** is one of the main protagonists in The Cowie Series. At the start of 3 Years at Home Series and The World We Live In he was 26 years old. He’s described to be older in Where Forever Began, turning 31 years old in the first year of the story.

## Appearance

Ludwig is, according to himself, a handsome young man with wavy dark brown hair and -eyes. He often has playful look in his eyes, which makes people usually not take him seriously. His skin was described by Aura to be slightly tanned even in the early spring. She also mentioned that he smiles too much.

His work attire often consists of a white collared shirt paired with a knitted vest or sweater, along with trousers. In casual settings, he prefers a relaxed style, opting for simple and comfortable t-shirts or sweaters paired with jeans. Ludwig’s favourite footwear is boots, praising them for their comfort and flexibility as he often helps Cole at the ranch during his visits.

## Early Life

Ludwig was born in Cowie. His background differs in each universe he’s in, but the fundament is the same: his parents left the world when he was still a baby, and he was raised by his grandparents, the owner of Two Pines Inn. During his teenage year, his grandmother passed away (Where Forever Began), leaving him alone with his grandfather to run the inn (in 3 Years at Home Series his grandmother died when he was a baby instead). Growing up, he spent a lot of his time with Cole, which brought them really close. Despite having no parents, he described his childhood as ‘full of love’.

## Personality

Ludwig is mostly described as easy going and having a lack of shame. He enjoys being around people, which makes him enjoy his work at the inn, where he can meet new people. Frequently, he would spend hours observing people around him, attempting to understand their thoughts and creating scenarios in his mind about what their life might be like. His energy level is described as ‘higher than average’. He’s able to keep talking for hours. And according to Reanne, Ludwig has an exceptional ability to switch topics every few minutes, a skill that she considers second to none. Despite his persona as a social butterfly, he’s actually quite selective about who enters his inner circle. Valuing sincerity and authenticity, he’s put off by people who seem fake.

Although he is generally relaxed in many aspects, as shown by his tendency to change his so-called ‘plans’ every so often, he is pretty strict if it comes to meals. As someone who holds pride in his cooking, he has the desire to provide his friends with good-quality homemade meals. Ludwig can be quite adventurous, which is most likely fuelled by a strong desire for variety. Routines bore him, and he is constantly seeking new stimuli to keep things exciting. In Where Forever Began he once said that he sometimes also wants to explore the world to meet more interesting people and not only stay confined on a small island like Cowie.

He is warm and caring to those close to him, and even towards the guests at the inn, he once mentioned that he considers them as his own family. Highly protective of his inner circle, he won’t have second thoughts to defend them if they’re threatened or attacked. He usually doesn’t hesitate to assist when Cole asks for his help. Although he may grumble about it at times, he always ends up giving him a hand. Despite his caring nature, he maintains clear personal boundaries and won’t compromise them just to please others. He knows when to say “no” and understands the importance of prioritising himself before others. He also never shies away from expressing his opinion.

Kyo once praised Ludwig’s intelligence, noting his skill in plotting offhand plans and his ability to quickly grasp new information from the books he reads. Unfortunately, these qualities are often overlooked due to Ludwig’s bubbly and upbeat personality.
