The About The Characters post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, in large part because:

“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”

~ from my Legend Award Finalist's Interview, 2013

Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost and Daughter of Blood simultaneously — in alphabetical order, of course!

(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

Ilaise:  also Ilaise Sondlyon, a damosel of Normarch, in the southern realm of Emer

Audin was there, too, and Raher and the damosel with the cut-down ladyspike. If anything, she looked even more haggard and dirty than Malisande. A trickle of blood smeared across her face when she tried to wipe it away, but it was not until she took off her metal cap and a yellow braid tumbled down that Carick finally recognized Ilaise.
