the actress who played lamina did an excellent job with literally no lines and limited screentime bc whenever she was on screen you felt her anguish of just being there and having to participate in the games. when she cut down marcus you can tell she had a gentle soul and empathized with his suffering

In S1-2 of Babylon Berlin we meet Toni Ritter, Lotte´s little sister (actress Irene Böhm). She is probably 11-12 years old. The girl is smart for the age and has a bubbly personality. Lotte and Toni resemble each other and have a nice emotional bond. Lotte is trying to take care of Toni and wants her to study at school instead of doing poorly paid random work. Toni is worried about Lotte being away at night and probably has an idea of Lotte´s night shifts. Other members of the Ritter family are too concerned about their own issues and they pay little attention to Toni, or even worse want to exploit her (Erich). In S2 Toni becomes an orphan as her mum dies.

In S3 we meet Toni who has quickly grown into a teenager. She lives with Lotte, goes to school and from time to time has lunches in Aschinger. Her life seems more stable and secure. However, Toni is not a happy girl, she feels lonely and neglected as Lotte is often missing their lunch appointments and comes home late. After school Toni has a lot of spare time but she can´t go home till evening (as they used the apartment taking turns with a guy from the bar who slept there at day). Toni finds a bad company, a questionable assignment and eventually gets molested by some elderly pervert. Lotte is trying to discipline Toni and prevent her from getting into bigger troubles. Toni wants to be independent and is annoyed at Lotte scolding her while generally neglecting her. Toni is also upset because she found out that she and Lotte have different fathers. By the end of S3 Toni decides to leave Lotte and join the group of homeless kids. Lotte is totally devastated as she truly cares about Toni, and once again her efforts to be good to her family member are not appreciated.

In S4 we might find out what happens to Toni. Probably she will be engaged in some illegal activity (for ex. street gang) and at some point face the police and Lotte.

Lotte is struggling with Toni, and Gereon has his adventurous nephew Moritz who is also getting into troubles joining Hitlerjugend. Both Gereon and Lotte are so busy with work and personal issues that they don’t pay enough attention to the rebellious teenagers, and that will surely have some bad consequences in the future.
