Biography
"I'm on board! On this ship!!! Woohoo!!!!!"

- Wendel

Wendel was a tomboyish and overly honest person who idolised Nico, the leader of the lookouts on board the Headquarters Ship. She pursued Nico with the dream of becoming a fully-fledged lookout like him.

Following her dreams, she was able to board the vessel as it left the Kingdom of Obel as it was occupied by the Kooluk Empire and join the navy, wishing to learn under Nico.

She would learn a lot from Nico, despite his unease at having such a fanatical apprentice, and following the Island Liberation War, she would continue to study hard, determined to surpass Nico in nautical knowledge in the future.

Following the order of King Lino En Kuldes himself, she would later help Kyril in his investigations of the Rune Cannons in the Kooluk Empire. She showed her frank attitude in confronting Kyril, asking him why he did not join them during the Island Liberation War.

She thought of his injury as just a pitiful excuse, but added that he had become strong and "cleaned up well" since then.
