She rarely thought of herself as brave; she had just become well-practiced at doing things in spite of her fear.
-From The Song of the Marked
The main protagonist of the Shadows and Crowns series, and one of the few mortals who contracted the Fading Sickness and lived. Her appearance was forever changed by the sickness, leading to her unsettling grey eyes and grey hair. She had countless aliases and homes in her current life before settling in with Asra and the rest of her mercenary crew.
Her soul is one of the few in the world to have been reincarnated; in a past life, she fell in love with the God of Death, and her connection to him (and the Sun Goddess he once served) eventually led to her rebirth as a powerful magic user and a member of the ruling royal family of the Kethran Empire.
