Conchobarre

"Come with me. Now."

Those were her father's first words to her. She obeyed. She always obeys. Perhaps that is why she was chosen by him, for her siblings certainly never got the same treatment. She doesn't really know though. All she knows is fighting and violence and the cost of disobedience. She only tried it the once: the first time she was ordered to kill. It would have been kinder for her to have done it anyway.

Training under Forhiene is harsh but it has results and she had a lot of raw talent and potential to work with. She's strong now. Stronger even than him but despite that she's still afraid to step out of line. So instead she runs. She runs because she's tired but also because she wants freedom - from her father, from killing, from herself. Escape isn't easy, though the only one chasing her now is her own demons.

Sometimes she hears laughter and turns to see who it is only to find that she's the one laughing.
