Official Character Description

Balthilde first worked in a repair shop in a satellite city. Due to her specialty, she lacks advanced emotional processing and voice control modules. After the owner died without a successor, she was condemned to wander the contamination zone. She followed Ullrid, putting her skills to the service of the Doll Community, until they settled into the ruins of the Marley Thermal Power Plant. She has now added combat to her abilities, but remains as pig-headed as ever. “During my time in the satellite city, my foul mouth always scared away customers of the repair shop. Now, I don’t have to deal with customers anymore, so who cares.”

Lore / Story involvement

A gruff mechanic of the Doll Community along with Rosalind, and Lotta's friend. She specializes in vehicles. She likes to collect and upgrade old appliance and has taken up gardening to remember her time with her friend Wolfiin.

Balthilde featured in the following stories:
