Gitte Hyrtl



Pauli's younger sister, by around 5 years. She currently works for a small IT firm.

Gitte was the baby of the family, in terms of how she was treated as well as being the youngest. In return, even the few times she did get snapped or shouted at, she tended to return it with being nice around the matter. She was the sort of child that was polite and nice enough that people wondered just what she was actually up to, and Pauli took it upon himself to 'protect' her. Their parents pushed her towards religious service, probably as a missionary, although not as hard as they pushed the other children. After all, her plan was rather pushed together when they realized there wasn't one, unlike the three elder siblings.

She was still sharp, like all of the Hyrtl family, but found that the best way to make friends and influence people was to be nice to them. Even when she didn't actually like them. Of everyone, Gitte was the only family member who found Pauli's young adult rebellion funny, liked Elka and chased him when he left.

Not quite at the point of further education when Pauli first introduced Elka to the family, she was given more leeway as to what to do as her career than was given to the others. She ignored the advice of her parents, claiming to want to become a dancer just to annoy them. At least, that was the last Pauli heard on the matter; between her two years out of education - one to earn money and one to have fun - and his own problems, he never did find out what she actually chose to do.

Her facebook page, at least the public version of it, is covered in the sort of Disney memes that further careers. Mostly Frozen ones. She seemed happy on the phone, although Barbl mentioned that she had been very angry ever since Pauli left for good.

Since this time, she has visited Lancaster. Further conversation and a week's worth of interaction led to her awkwardly telling Pauli that she preferred the company of women, a conversation point he accepted although reasoned their father would not, and her introducing her elder brother to the concept of 'Purritoes'.
