Alyssum was raised as a found child by many of the clan's elders, as most of the guard and scouts have been that she works with. She thinks its an honor to help protect and aid in resource gathering to help feed and shelter those hatchlings who have also been stranded through the labyrinth. There is wind under her wings, however, and she has considered more and more the novel idea of leaving the clan, her family, and her home for a greater unknown, as she is beginning to see the world of light through her girlfriend, Vhenadahl's, eyes. There is a beauty and fear to the unknown of leaving home, though, and she is cautious by nature.
