Meeting Frau: During her adventuring days, she visited Lake Alfrau in the north and met the incarnated War God Maris and a divine cat with white fur. Maris asked her to help the pet cat learn about human society. Having felt she had accomplished everything she wanted as an adventurer, she retired and opened the tavern with Frau. She was a genius swordswoman with high A-rank subjugation records, and because her retirement was so regretted, the Guild kept her registration active at their suggestion. With the divine cat Frau as her mascot, she strives to run a shop that serves as an adventurer's tavern while maintaining the atmosphere of a stylish cafe. Though she doesn't say it aloud, this is partly to help adventurers—who often have a reputation for being crude and violent—gain more social acceptance. Tone: Clear and polite. She occasionally makes jokes. When truly angry, her voice becomes low and intimidating. Abilities: Extremely high physical capabilities. Her magic is primarily focused on physical reinforcement.
