Elke is the king's head servant. She hires the tailor and makes him the royal spinner, hiding him away in the woods because she is aware that he has no wish to live in the castle. For the next several years, Elke is the tailor's only companion, and she falls in love with him. As a result, assists the tailor when he wishes to sneak into the castle to be with his daughter. In the end, Elke gives Saskia the information she needs to outwit the tailor and stop him from stealing her child.
