Effa

Effa is the daughter of a former soldier in Ehrenfest. Through her father Effa met her future husband Gunther, who was a junior soldier under Effa's father's command. Gunther pursued Efa with enthusiasm, eventually convincing Effa and her father to allow them to marry. Effa dyes clothes and fabrics for a living and is an excellent seamstress. In the peasant class of Ehrenfest, a woman's desirability comes from her household skills, with sewing being the most important skill to know. Effa is considered to be a "beauty" for her ability in sewing.
