Lioba Fenne

As the elder sister of Minna (page 22) and Athela (page 70), it fell to Lioba to navigate magical learning with not a friend to turn to. Now well into making something of herself, she still feels like she’s yet to make a name. At the beginning of all of this it seemed certain that her success would open up some of the closed circles that pre-dated her family’s appearance. Now it’s clear that one generation isn’t nearly enough to be taken seriously by the establishment. Perhaps she’s been looking for the wrong peoples’ approval all these years. Maybe they would fare better in finding another group of recent arrivals.
