Description of Gerta:

A former prostitute in the brothel, who is now retired and helps keep the place tidy. Once beautiful and talented at sewing, she is mostly blind now, and very frail. Once her beauty withered from depression and sickness, she became the housekeeper. However, now that she is blind, she does menial work and garden work, things she can do by feel without sight. She is Jorg’s mother, becoming pregnant when she was raped by a drunk customer. Although aged beyond her years, her curly hair is still quite lovely. She dies of the plague shortly after catching it from her son, as she tried to nurse him. Aged 50-60
