_____
Likes:
sports · competitions of all kinds · using her whistle · rope climbing · hiking · trapshooting · driving tanks · reading Gottfried von Straßburg and Hartmann von Aue
Hates:
fragile things (she always breaks stuff unintentionally) · anger issues (only if they're inappropriate) · people who speak with lisping voices or are simply extremely quiet · people who don't enjoy the uplifting sound of her whistle · unmotivated people who always stand apart and frown at everything (I mean you Kai; get your bony ass to the ropes now!)
About her:
She's responsible for everything that involves sports and tournaments. She's the person all sport club directors have to talk to if they decide to use the gym simultaneously again (there's only space for 4 teams in the gym ‒ maybe she can squeeze 5 teams in if she pushes from behind, but that's the maximum). She's the German champion of discus throwing ‒ actually of "discus target practice", because she's able to shoot down clay pigeons with her discs. Usually she's loud, direct, strict and impossible to ignore. Some students are afraid of her, but only until they visit her literature and philosophy classes later on ‒ she teaches historical concepts of ethics, ancient poetry and has a surprisingly soothing voice if she performs one of her beloved minnesongs.
Life:
She grew up in a small village with timber-framed houses and ruins of and extended castle scattered everywhere. Her interest in medieval architecture and music seems to be based on the exploration of vacant ruins and hiking trips to mountains and caves where these ancient places can be found. Strangely, this interest remained her hobby; the joy of physical activities like hiking, climbing and target shooting became her profession instead. Her speciality is discus throwing and she once won the European championship of it. But even this success wasn't able to lure her out of the rural area she loves so much. That's why she stayed and became a sports teacher at a local high school.

GEEK FACT: NAME
The first name Birgit comes from the Old Nordic name "Birghir" and means "helper, protector, guardian".
The last name Rombach consists of the Middle High German word "ron/rone" ("stub, tree stump, chunk") and the Old High German word "bah" ("small river, stream").
RANDOM MUSICAL PICK OF THE WEEK
Wumpscut — Loyal To My Hate
This week I picked something I don't have much to talk about. Wumpscut (ore more precisely "Rudy" Ratzinger) creates brute, very rhythmic and dark electro-industrial-aggrotech music and likes to provoke people with the sound and content of his music and the artwork that goes along with it.
