Amalie Mainbach Baumeister

Amalie is the widowed sister-in-law of Wendelin Baumeister, having been married to Kurt Baumeister prior to his death. While married to Kurt, she took his surname, Baumeister. However, after his death she chose to revert to using her maiden name, for both herself and her children, to avoid some of the stigma and ostracization associated with her deceased husband's actions. __Personality__ Amalie is a very kind and soft-spoken woman. She is abundantly aware of her social standing, and how women don't typically have a voice in matters, and therefore stays out of the matters despite being one of the best educated people in the territory. Because of the inability to connect on an intellectual level with so many within the Baumeister Knighthood, she cherishes contact with her brother-in-law Erich, who is about as educated as her, and her other brother-in-law Wendelin, who despite being 12 years her junior, is far more knowledgeable than her. When they are away from the territory, she writes and receives letters as often as the merchant caravans allow.
