Elf wizard of the Bright Banner. Long sleeves, longer monologues, and capable enough that the caravan never lost a fight while she was on watch.

She keeps the caravan alive on the road up from the Sword Coast and makes no secret of thinking herself above the work and above the people doing it. Rude, standoffish, an audience of one for her own monologues, and only lately willing to tolerate any of them. When Pip did not come back from scouting east, she and Garrick went after him, and they did not stop looking.

Six months later they were still hunting him out of Forgeholm. Word reached them that Bræhmburgh was under attack, they rode for it, and they were taken alive with the rest of the town. At the sorting the Baron pulled her out of the line for being a wizard. She is held at Fort Karthen.
