## Character Details

*Marlene von Benno Baumeister, formerly Marlene Baumeister, is one of the female supporting tritagonist in "Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!." She is Wendelin von Benno Baumeister's sister-in-law and the first wife of Hermann von Benno Baumeister. She is the eldest daughter of the Baumeister Junior commander family*

## Appearance

The Novel only says she has brown hair like the Baumeister's due to being a second cousin. In the Anime she is an attractive woman in her mid 20's with orangish hair and brown eyes.

## Personality

Marlene is exceptionally outspoken, willing to stand up for what she believes in and speak her mind with authority, despite the fact that those around her are concerned her vocal nature will cause trouble. It seems that Marlene-sister-in-law-san can be commonly be referred as having the Tsundere attribute.

## Etymology

* **Marlene** is German and means **"Star of the Sea."**
* **Von** is Dutch and means one of **"Noble"** birth.
* **Benno** is Germanic and means **"Bear."**
* **Baumeister** is Germanic and means **"Builder" or "Architect."**

## Synopsis

### Background

Marlene is the eldest surviving heir of the Junior Commander branch of the Benno Baumeister family. Her grandfather (as Junior Commander), father, and uncle were the leaders of the force sent out by Artur von Benno Baumeister to support the militarized actions of the previous Duke Bleichröder in the Savage Lands. All males of the branch family died in that campaign. Because of this, Marlene feels a deep distrust of Artur, as well as his assumed heir, Kurt, who appears to desire to continue using the branch family as merely a tool.

### Plot

In order to try to make peace, but also to allow for an appropriate male heir to the Junior Commander branch, Artur arranges for his second son Hermann to marry into the branch family as a bridegroom (a form of marriage that has a groom being adopted by the bride's family in order to act as heir). Marlene initially does not trust Hermann, seeing him as being forced onto the branch family, but Hermann takes his new position seriously and begins to advocate strongly for the interests of the branch family. This causes Marlene to begin trusting him, ultimately resulting in a normalization of their marriage and the development of genuine feelings between them.

She was initially neutral about Wend returning to the Baumeister territory, except to the extent that his mere presence antagonizes Artur and Kurt. However, she is deeply moved by his willingness to search for artifacts relating to the Baumeister portion of the Duke's forces, and in particular possessions of the dead members of the Junior Commander branch.

She has two children with Hermann; son Leon von Benno Baumeister and daughter Klara. Upon Kurt's death and Hermann becoming the new Knight Baumeister, Leon von Benno Baumeister becomes the next presumptive heir of the territory.

## Abilities & Skills

### Skills

She is excellent at running the branch family, since all the men in the branch family were killed during the Demon Forest Expedition.

## Relationships

### Wendelin von Benno Baumeister

She has a very high opinion and treats him very well. When Wend's was a child she use to watch him head out to train magic, but didn't approach him due to the conflict with the Head Family. She is also someone who wished for him to become the head of the family.

### Kurt von Benno Baumeister

She is very open about her dislike of Kurt going as far as to call him an idiot in front of everyone

### Grandfather

She was very close to her grandfather as he raised her and when Wend came to purify the undead she mentioned it to Wend. When Wend was purifying the undead her grandfather appeared and had already become a Lich. When he approached Wend's party he asked about his grandchild. Wend explained how she was married, happy and had 2 children. Her grandfather recognized Wend was a blood relation and told him " I leave it to you". He dropped his weapon and allowed Elise to purify him. Due to him telling Wend " I leave it to you", Wend decided to become the feudal lord of the Baumeister Knight Territory.

### Leon von Benno Baumeister

He is the first born and eldest son. He is the heir to the original Baumeister Knight Territory(Baronet).

### Klara von Benno Baumeister

She is her second child and oldest daughter

### Unnamed Son

She had a son while Wend was in the Urquhart Holy Empire.

## Trivia

* She didn't accept Herman as her husband till he told the Head Family to pay their past due bills if they wanted more supplies and goods.
* She's a little more vocal about her disgust for Kurt in the Manga.
* Her character is the same in the novel, manga and anime in that she despises Kurt in all three.
