Vheret is a 13-year old shepherd living on the outskirts of Windshear Bay, Palador, in Crown’s Reach, Caelarn. He is somewhat odd-looking, tall and thin with extremely pale skin that is oversensitive in the sun. He has blond hair so pale it appears white; the same with his eyebrows and eyelashes. His eyes are a pale lilac color, and when he uses his “focused sight” they softly glow a lavender hue. Vheret often goes cloaked and cowled, not only to protect his skin from the sun, but to avoid contact with people who might react with alarm to his strange eye color. Vheret has been responsible for maintaining the flock of sheep that his father purchased prior to running out on them, leaving Vheret not only in charge of the sheep, but also what remains of the family.
Beneficio “Bene” DesTari
Bene is the 7-year old brother of Vheret. He has features that favor their mother, whereas Vheret is said to more closely resemble their missing father. Bene is also said to have inherited his mother’s frail health; he has narrow, spindly shoulders and is often sick and bedridden, though his cheer never seems to flag.
Miriya DesTari
Miriya is the mother of Vheret and Beneficio. Born Miriya a’Carpinteira to a relatively wealthy merchant in the Solvan city of Alegria, Miriya was wooed by Adem DesTari, and soon wed him, leaving her home for Windshear Cove, far to the north. Her health is fragile, seemingly more so following Adem’s abandonment of the family, and is now bedridden even more than Bene.
