Hesia

In Book 2 Minalan notes that when she was disguised as an old crone, it was "not a stretch" given her face — implying she is not conventionally attractive. Takes an arrow to the arm during the battle and wears it in a sling but continues fighting one-handed with a warwand, visibly angry about being wounded. Behaviorally: bland on her good days and socially inept. An old client of a castle owner owed her money — suggesting she has worked independently as a professional mage with her own client relationships. Personality is not suited to diplomacy or courtly interaction. Re-works the entire warding system of Tudry. Collaborates with Carmella to weave binding spells into the redoubt palisades, making them as strong as stone. Classified as an outstanding specialist in fortification magic. Dies during the final phase of the Battle of the Escarpment — listed among the missing comrades, holding the wall to keep it from being overrun.
