Ragi
Ragi is a travelling minstrel who meets up with Gerda and continues to travel with her as they go from town to town, occasionally entertaining the townspeople with his somber ballads. Even his talking voice is rather monotonous, though this is not because he is completely unfeeling towards anything. Rather the opposite, in fact. His only travelling companion up to when Gerda joins is a white male dog (or maybe wolf) which Gerda later names Holger. Spoiler Ragi used to be a Captain in a millitary unit until he lost all his men in a snowstorm, for which he partially blamed himself. This may or may not have led him to his current life as a wandering minstrel. His journey, while seemingly generally aimless, is one where he searches for answers.
