Chevalière banneresse Ermengarda Geneviève Frankling Ponvarorum is a junior officer of the IV Golden Legion of the Republic of Frankonia. As a member of the Frankling lineage, Geneviève traces her ancestry to pre-Republican Frankonia; these families are commonly referred to as the 'Augustes,' though this appellation is in practice meaningless, as they are otherwise indistinguishable from the Republic's non-merchant dynasties.

As an officer of the Golden Legion, Geneviève has an extensive education in formal warfare and Frankonian history. Aggressively observant of formal protocol and incredibly proud of Frankonia and its values, she is a model of the Republic itself. A pragmatic tactician, Geneviève values chivalry, honour, and honesty, and dislikes material greed, recklessness, and insubordination.
