Biography

A brisk and athletic Faulfenzair female, no-nonsense, exacting, and attentive to details.

Prior to the War

Born in Qodii, became that village's Favored Dancer, moved on to Quapendai to be educated so she could join the starfarers and was one of that world's worldcast dancers for festivals for a while. A particularly great dancer: "'I can't believe Qora,' Sediryl said, laughing. 'He told me casually you were 'the best dancer staying on the world'. He did not tell me that you were the best dancer in several worlds, by anyone's standards.'"

After the War

Stayed behind on Escutcheon to continue Sediryl's Dance teaching, at Qora's request. "While I am gone, Princess, you will keep practicing. I’ve put Auniira on it. She’s the best dancer of the Faulfenza staying on your world. Not a great teacher, mind you, but a great dancer. You’ll just have to learn very fast to keep her from biting you.”

Quotes

• "We who live long must be patient, above all else. No matter how we yearn to know the mysteries that must unfold to serve the God’s plan."
• "The Eyes of the God work in manifold ways. None of them mysterious, and all of them irritating."
• "Under Auniira's direction, Sediryl managed the first sentence of the scroll the Faulfenzair had chosen to teach her after Qorta's departure. Mostly. She repeated it twelve times, and twelve times over failed some nuance. But she liked the repetition. and began to feel, just a little,that her body was expressing separate words and they were powerful and intriguing ones: 'Across the ages do I speak to you.'"

Trivia

• Her favorite Scroll is Faullaizaf's Promise.
