Identity and portrayal

Appearance

A young Blessed novice associated with an emerald cloak hidden beneath white fur. Her hands shake only after the dead are cared for; detailed facial appearance is not established.

Voice and manner

Dry, brisk and impatient with complaints. Her humour is a treatment tool until evidence makes it disappear.

Skills, Essan and limitations

Wound care, bleeding control, pain relief, Essan/rune sensitivity and evidence preservation.

Knowledge limits

Knows the attacked temple, crooked-crown mark, strange corpse and that something directed the goblins; she does not know the complete enemy hierarchy.

Source status

Current working character Bible; full spoilers; author review required.

Visual status

Generated for the Atlas on 2026-08-15 from the manuscript-grounded description. This image is not an approved character master and does not lock unestablished appearance details.

Core psychology

External goal

Keep the wounded alive and warn Gamla that the temple attack and crooked-crown force are connected.

Internal need

Grow from novice procedure into someone willing to carry frightening evidence and judgement.

Fear

More temples falling because survivors mistake the attack for isolated goblin violence.

Defining flaw or pressure

Urgency makes her overrule injured people's agency, though usually to keep them alive.
