Appearance
Margit is a Siberian husky with pricked ears and short fur. She's of short height; with a curvy, slightly stout body type; has light blue eyes; and has white fur and light blond hair.
Margit dresses and comports herself as a traditional housewife, in simple long dresses, no makeup, and her long hair in braids. She has a quiet, gentle, modest demeanor and is rather a people pleaser, trying hard to maintain peace and stability. She's doting toward her permissive husband Walther; disturbingly devoted to, and fawning over, their son Ernst; and emotionally and physically demonstrative to both.

Trivia
*Margit is both a victim and perpetrator of sexual abuse; what her father did to her, she ends up doing to her son, Ernst. Based on the explanation she gives her son, this is behavior that has been occurring in her family long enough that it's become normalized; the pattern is usually fathers abusing their daughters, which is reversed in these circumstances, though Margit still stresses to Ernst that when he becomes an adult, he'll need to seek a wife of his own, the same as she sought a husband (Walther Dannecker). She's quite likely the only person Ernst ever genuinely loves, although he hints that he's willing to turn on her if she betrays him. Likewise, Margit is the only person who can successfully defuse her son's murderous moods. Although their relationship starts out as nonconsensual--Ernst is underage--he willingly resumes the relationship when he returns from the Great War, and the two effectively function as husband and wife. Margit is aware that Ernst kills his own father, Walther, and rebukes him for the act yet continues their relationship, partly out of love, partly out of fear. Dannecker's associates in the SS have suspicions that the two are inappropriately involved, and that Walther was murdered, yet decline to take action.
*The terminal disease Margit develops is a type of leukemia, for which there is no effective treatment at the time of the story. Euthanasia was acceptable in Nazi Germany, though it was usually used in regard to the mentally and genetically inferior, and wasn't always performed willingly; there is at least one story of parents asking that their disabled infant be killed, and the request being granted. Margit's understanding of the SS "euthanasia" program, which was more often painful and cruel, appears to be flawed; which is why Dannecker suggests calling a doctor to administer an overdose of morphine instead.
*Her lack of understanding of the euthanasia program also hints that she may not be fully aware of all the atrocities her son is responsible for while working in the camps, yet it's doubtful she would care much even if she knew, considering that he admits committing war crimes during the Great War yet she isn't especially perturbed. She even goes along with his assertion that his victims are to blame for what he did to them--likely because she knows that arguing with him can be dangerous.
