History

Family

Felsha participated as a schoolgirl in a trip to help some beaching whales on a planet with two silver moons: the Velvet Whale Watch. (She had a shirt, black with a spiny cartoon whale the color of a roasted almond. They didn't get the color right, "the whales were more a shiny gold in the right light."

Recent History

Rooms with Darya, with whom she is best friends, now that she is on the Stardancer. "They were a striking pair, with their contrasts, light and dark, prim and earthy; from what Alysha had gathered, they considered their differences superficial, compared to the qualities that had inspired their friendship."

Felsha was in charge of navigating the Fleet shuttle when Alysha Forrest returned to Gledig to stop the most recent pirate attack. She was slightly dismayed when Darya immediately destroyed the pirate shuttle, but agreed that it was better than having the pirates loose on the streets. She and Darya remained in the shuttle and bore witness to the duel between Alysha and Dylan Brushnie. At Laelkii Takara Lifeweave's request, they streamed the duel to the station.
