Niahrin

Niahrin is a witch in the Southern Isles. She is a main character in the final book, Aisling.

Physical Appearance
Niahrin is forty-one. She is trim and slightly buxom, with long black hair she keeps wound around her head in braids. Her right eye is brown, but her left is a pale, scarred wall-eye that she keeps covered with a colorful eyepatch made from an old tapestry. When Niahrin was sixteen, her mother gave her more powerful magic, and this incident damaged Niahrin's eye and face.

Personality
Niahrin, horribly scarred since sixteen, feels married to her magic and is unconcerned with her lack of close friends and lovers. She is patient, kind, and determined to help others. She has a keen sense for magic and anything otherworldly, and is therefore able to help Grimya, Indigo, and Fenran.

Story
Niahrin found Grimya's near-lifeless body along the beach after Grimya and Indigo were shipwrecked. Niahrin tends to Grimya and helps heal her, and she senses Grimya is far more intelligent than a normal wolf, however all of her scrying has left her no answers.
