Arethia "Starcrown" Nimanthi

The second child born of Commander Arnak and Vashti. She suffered from severe dandruff as a child and got the name "Starcrown" from her mother because of the flakes that looked like stars falling from her head. (Her mother wanted her to confront her issue while not feeling belittled because of it.)

She was trained since birth to be a Lore Keeper because she has such an excellent memory. She learns and memorizes history, songs, legends, and myths as well as many traditional dances. Her physical grace made her an excellent swordsman, at least, whenever her brother would have the time to train her.

Being a perfectionist of sorts and having much pressure from her mother to be perfect, she suffers from high anxiety and stress. This became the unfortunate reason she cannot bear children, something that tears her to pieces daily and has her in a continual flux of anger and guilt because of it.
