Celene

Since she was young, Celene has been a companion to Feyrin, and is determined to help and guide him. She is intelligent, cunning, and unlike Feyrin, does not wear her heart on her sleeve. Though she is always polite and courteous, she keeps her real feelings hidden.

She does seem to genuinely care for Feyrin, and uses her keen understanding of social politics and body language to notice warning signs and keep him out of trouble. Though she is outwardly kind of everyone, she doesn't seem to have any particular friends in the clan besides him. She does enjoy having access to the knowledge he picks up as the clan messenger, and keeps a keen eye on everyone in the clan's personal business, even if she keeps herself firmly out of it.

Unlike Feyrin, who would never imagine any wrongdoing on the part of anyone else, Celene has become aware of the tension in the clan from Pineseed's three children: how Ambrite is the heir to the clan, Aurum resents her for it, and Marati has made herself a pariah by mating with the leader of an enemy clan. Though none of them are aware of her knowledge of these affairs, Celene keeps a close eye on such things, so that she and Feyrin are prepared to deal with it should things escalate. Whether she is so interested because she wants to keep herself and her mate safe, or for some more sinister purpose, remains to be seen.
