Adjunct Tavore Paran

Tavore, Ganoes' sister (middle-child)

GotM, Dramatis Personae

"His sister, Tavore, a year younger than him, stood close to the head of the table, one hand on the back of their father's chair. She was as plain as ever, a slash of bloodless lines comprising her features, her reddish hair trimmed shorter than was the style. She was taller than the last time he'd seen her, nearly his own height, no longer the awkward child. Her expression revealed nothing as she stdied him."

GotM, US HC p.55, UK mmpb p.49

"Tavore had claimed her brothers bone and antler toy soldiers... she had arranged a miniature battle. only later wold Felisin learn that her nine-year old sister had been, in fact, recreating a set battle, culled from historical accounts of a century old clash between a Royal Untan army and the rebelling house of K'azz D'Avore. A battle that had seen the annihilation of the renegade noble family's forces and the subjugation of the D'Avore household. And that, taking on the role of duke Kenussen D'Avore, she was working through every possible sequence of tactics towards achieving a victory. Trapped by a series of unfortunate circumstance sin a steep-sided valley, and hopelessly outnumbered, the unanimous consensus among military scholars was that such victory was impossible. Felisin never learned if her sister had succeeded where Kenussen D'Avore - reputedly a military genius - had failed."

"It seemed to Felisin that her sister had never been a child, had never known a playful moment. She had stepped into their brother's shadow and sought only to remain there, and when Ganoes had been sent off for schooling, Tavore underwent a subtle transformation. No longer in Ganoes' shadow, it was as if she had become his shadow, severed and haunting."
