Hermann

Hermann is a Kabaesterik and the Head Major assistant of Oroka.

Hermann assists the Head Major of Oroka - Schwars.

Appearance
Hermann is a typical Kabaesterik - strong and fearsome. A line of nearly unbreakable steel-like plates runs up her neck and down her back and tail. Three protective plates cover the majority of her face. A tuft of rugged, worn out hair can be seen at the back of her head.

Hermann is a former soldier and as such very well trained with capabilities of attacking with immense force, withstanding severe attacks and reaching high speeds. She most notably has several gashes in her ears from the old days.

Personality
Hermann is stoic, pragmatic and strictly professional as an assistant. Despite this, she still keeps the common trait of a Kabaesterik - being protective, especially over children. Hermann keeps Schwars in line without fail, never giving in to pressure or complexety of a task. She wants to protect the residents of Oroka, but will never show it. She's good at pretending and bottling up her feelings, barely showing any emotion at all, positive or negative.

Role in "Hollow Court"
Hermann's first appearance is in the story "Hollow Court" in which she has already become Schwars' assistant and her backstory is not touched upon to a large degree. It is confirmed that Hermann used to be a soldier until she was attacked and forced into leaving the army and the leading system of Oroka as a whole. Schwars however puts faith in her after seeing her fighting spirit and appoints her as his assistant.

She serves as a supporting and friendly figure to the two main characters, Shujinko and Keya. Despite her stoic nature, Hermann retains the desire to protect others as is common for her species and watches over the two youngsters. Keya builds immense trust in Hermann almost immediately and at several points in the story seeks her support and advice. Shujinko is not as quick to trust the Kabaesterik, but feels comfortable knowing she's there for the two of them.
