  Description: You certainly cannot be described as the 
  incarnation of womanhood. When you are fully equipped, 
  armor and helmet included, many even mistake you for a 
  man. You generally do nothing to disabuse them. You do 
  not care what others think. 
   
  Background: Your father was already part of Benta-
  lone’s Turbula (guards). He had brought you to this place 
  so that you had a roof over your head and regular meals. 
  He died during a far-away expedition with magi. You were 
  only five years old. You never knew your mother who, you 
  think, died when you were born. Thus, you have been 
  raised at the Covenant. You were probably meant to be-
  come a maid, but you were more attracted by martial train-
  ing than menial chores. The Turb captain noticed you and 
  encouraged your inclination. After being a simple soldier, 
  you now occupy, thanks to your courage, the envied posi-
  tion of Custos (favorites among the grogs) and shield grog 
  (magi personal bodyguard). 
   
  Motivation: You are part of the expedition to Tarascon-
  sur-Ariège to protect the magi (Évrard d’Ange and Martin) 
  and, but not as much, their apprentices (actually Éthaine). 
  You must ensure that nothing bad happens to them. How-
  ever, since this is no dangerous expedition, you should be 
  able to enjoy the fair and have a little fun. Such occasions 
  are so rare! 
   
  Relationships with the Other Characters: 
   
  Éthaine: She is Martin’s apprentice. You do not 
  always understand her jokes, but she is a nice girl, 
  overall. She is sometimes cruel to you, but when she 
  realizes, she soon asks for forgiveness. Maybe she is 
  a little jealous of you being so close to Évrard? 
   
  Évrard: You are his regular shield grog. Ever since 
  the first day, you have been loving him. You were 
  imposed to him, and he did not like it, but you were 
  able to become indispensable at his side. Now, he 
  has accepted you. You know that your love is im-
  possible, for Évrard loves the beautiful Diane of 
  Miglos. Anyway, you suffer in silence and do every-
  thing to make him happy. 
   
  Gailhard: He is a Turb sergeant, and your immedi-
  ate superior. He does not like a woman to be a Cus-
  tos like he and regularly lets you know. But as long 
  as the Turb captain backs you up, you have nothing 
  to dread from him. 
   
  Martin: He is a magus and as such, you must pro-
  tect him. However, if you had to choose who to 
  save between him and Évrard, you would not hesi-
  tate for a single second. Actually, you do not know 
  Martin very well, because he practically never steps 
  out of his laboratory. 
   
  Quinault: He is the Covenant’s autocrat (steward). 
  You do not deal with him any more since you joined 
  the Turbula. In the Covenant, he is reputed to be 
  extremely strict.
