The living story
The story so far
The court's rank-and-file duelist. Big, earnest, and convinced this is the season she finally beats the Orchid — she says so every season.
Happening now
She has been taking lessons from the European Mantis — the old guard, the honor duels. Her footwork is improving; her confidence is becoming a problem.
What may come
Earnestness plus technique is either a champion or a tragedy. The Orchid Mantis has agreed to a practice bout, which is either kind or cruel.
