Nyra

Nyra is eighteen: a dew witch with a Core, something rare and dangerous. From fourteen until the Breaking she made and sold dew lanterns in the Glass Market, and she has raised her sister Mira since Mira was six. On the night of the Breaking she became a Moon Weaver.

Morwen trains her from day 20. On night 24 she refuses to devour the Echo of a drowned woman and freezes the Glass Market. On day 26 she is the Court’s champion in the Celestial Circle, where her duel with Teo ends in the Overload, and both fall into the Crater Field.

At the end of Book I she is in Halvar’s Tower, her stitched arm in a sling, preparing to leave for the Vale of Echoes. She keeps Morwen’s black silk ribbon. She has promised the dead a door.
