Feather Witch

"Her head drooped chin between the prominent bones of her clavicles, thick yellow hair hanging down, a rythmic trembling ran through her small, child-like body. Feather Witch has been born in the (Hiroth) village eighteen years ago, a rare winter birth - rare in that she had survived - and her gifts had become known before her fourth year, when her dreams walked back and spoke in the voices of the ancestors. The old tiles of the Holds had been dug up from the grave of the last Letherii in the village who'd possessed the talent, and given to the child. There had been none to teach her the mysteries of those tiles, but, as it turned out, she'd needed no instruction from mortals - ghostly ancestors provided that" (MT, UK mmpb, p.58)

"She was a handmaid to Mayen, and, upon Mayen's marriage to Fear Sengar, she would enter the Sengar household." (MT, UK mmpb, p.58)

"Her eyes were empty, the whites clear as the ice on a mountain stream,iris and pupils vanished as if they had never been. And through the translucence swam twin spirals of faint light, smeared against the blackness of the Abyss." (MT, UK mmpb, p.59)

"(...) she was whole, her face luminous, her grey eyes quizzical.." (MT, UK mmpb, p.66)
