Personality Flirtatious and more experienced than her station suggests — she’s handled village boys before and enjoys it. Sets firm personal limits (no intercourse before marriage) but is genuinely curious and easily aroused. Pragmatic under pressure; her instinct is to survive first and grieve later. Witnesses multiple taboo sexual encounters without looking away.
Role in Story Female co-protagonist. Is with Darrick when the orcs arrive, flees at his order to warn the village. Hides during the raid and witnesses Maid Thiphania’s conquest. Survives as the sole free adult from Briar Glen. Found by Illona in the forest, taken in for a night, witnesses Illona and the wolf. Sent to Wealdstone with Osric and warned to arrive before the next full moon.
