Daughter Dearest

Daughter Dearest, alias Grete, is a main character introduced in the Spy Classroom series. She is Lamplight's strategist Grete's a girl with a characteristic, glossy red-haired bob cut. Her body is tall and slender, no excessive fat to be seen, and a sort of ephemeral fragility not unlike a glass sculpture. Grete wears a mask to hide her scars that cover half of her face. The scars are a shade of black so vile it inspires disgust into all who saw it. Grete has a calm, ladylike personality paired with a bright, tactical mind. Grete is also an androphobe in a very literal sense, fearing and disliking men to the point where talking to men other than Klaus makes her stomach hurt. Her androphobia comes from the verbal abuse she received from her dad and older brother who would frequently degrade her for her appearance and manners. This abuse causing her to feel insecure about her appearance. Grete believes that she’s gone her entire life without once ever being loved. After Grete joined Lamplight, she developed an infatuation with Klaus after he saw her birthmarked face and told her that she was beautiful. Since then, Grete developed an unbreakable romantic devotion towards Klaus. Grete is self-conscious, downplaying her own strength and abilities to her teammates. Grete believes it comes from her desire to repay Klaus. Grete is self-aware of how her infatuation boarders on dependance or obsession, and respects Klaus as an autonomous person, one who has the freedom to not reciprocate her feelings. Grete does not follow Klaus specifically to gain his affection. (Though that is a goal of hers), but to do right by the man who returned her affection, even if her love is unrequited.
