Starling

Jesta:

A minstrel, sister of [[Jay]].
Also called ''Starling Birdsong'', and ''the howling bitch'' by [[Nighteyes]]. Both the wolf and [[the Fool]] suspected her motives in befriending [[Fitz]] but the two still maintained over a decade long "friends with benefits" type of relationship.

A victim of the raiding that took place during the [[Red Ship War]], Starling was raped and became pregnant with her attackers child. Not wanting to keep the baby, she went to an apothacry to buy herbs that would cause her to miscarry. However, the herbs given to her were not succesful, and on returning to the apothatry, was told that it was best to simply carry the baby to term. Starling was unhappy with the idea, and went to another, who supplied her with a drug that managed to terminate the pregnancy as well as make her unfertile.

She witnessed Fitz' attempt at finding [[Verity]] and the awakening of his dragon and after returning to [[Buckkeep]] remained at [[Kettricken]]'s side helping in the [[Cleansing of Buck]]. Later she also tracked down [[Fitz]] and visited him various times a year, bringing him new tales and songs as well as more practical things such as inks and paper. The other side to these visits was that she kept [[Chade]] informed about Fitz. She also found [[Hap]] and brought him to live with Fitz.

Starling married [[Dewin]] sometime during the reign of Queen Kettricken while Fitz was still living in his quiet cottage: the knowledge of this made Fitz cut off their relationship despite Starlings protests.

She is first described as being a 'typical Buck woman' - dark haired, with dark eyes and being the height of Fitz' shoulder.

I can't remember him being referred to as Jor ''or'' Bed Bolster. Can any body else confirm where and when these names where given?
: I have no idea, it's from a listing of characters from [http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/jtjaaske/hobb/taustaa/nthahmotes.html here]. I do believe that they are from the books, because the list includes the translations for all the names in Finnish, and the last two are Jory and Pol Steri (the last one doesn't really mean anything, but sounds similar to "bolster". I'm assuming that Jory could be a name he gives to someone asking for it (the wandering minstrels, perhaps? Someone at Tradeford?) and the Bed Bolster sounds like a nickname the Fool might have used. Or maybe that girl he turned down?
:: Sounds reasonable enough. Thank you for clearing it up, as I now have an excuse to get rid of that irritating sentence tagged onto the end of his list of alias's :P [[User:Voici|Voici]] 00:07, 26 April 2006 (EEST)
::: Cool. :) I think we should add some kind of explanations for all the names though, so let's keep our eyes open when we browse the books. --[[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 00:34, 26 April 2006 (EEST)

added meanings to the last to names :), They are used during Assassins Quest, i believe that he never actually used the name Jory and the name beed bolster was only used once by the Fool when he was talking to Starling when Fitz was recovering in the mountians.

[[Image:Fitz.jpg|thumb|Fitz and Nighteyes by [[Maija Pietik√§inen]]]]
The bastard son of King-In-Waiting [[Chivalry (King-In-Waiting)|Chivalry]], bonded to the wolf [[Nighteyes]]. [[Witted]] and [[Skilled]].

== Names ==
Fitz has many alias's in the trilogies.

'''Fitz''', the name most commonly used by people in reference to him, although there are also varients on this, such as uncapitalized 'fitz' on his first appearance at [[Buckkeep]] castle, called so by Burrich.

'''[[FitzChivalry Farseer]]''' is his official name, recorded by [[Verity]] on his coming to Buckkeep, named for what he was: the bastard son of Civalry.

'''[[Keppet]]''', the name that his mother was thought to have given him, as heard in various memories Fitz has of her.

'''[[Nameless the dog-boy]]''', used as a derogatory name for Fitz when he was a child, by [[Regal]] and his hangers-on at court, in response to his living and working with the dogs in the stables.

'''[[Newboy]]''', a nickname given to him by the children he became friends with in Buckkeep town and his sweet-heart, [[Molly]].

'''[[Tom]]''', the code name given in the letters between Civalry and Verity, stemming from Verity calling Fitz a little 'Tom-cat'.

'''[[Thomas]]''', what Patience calls Fitz, most probably stemming from the above name.

'''[[Changer]]''', what he was named by the Men of the mysterious [[Naming Ceremony]] that took place in his youth, and also the name given to him by Nighteyes.

'''[[Catalyst]]''', a title given to him by the Fool.

'''[[Tom Badgerlock]]''', an alias taken on after the [[Red Ship War]] and he wanted Fitz to remain dead. As well as being another name, Tom Badgerlock gradually became a whole other persona. When asked why the name Badgerlock, he states he was given the name by his parents after being born with a white streak in his hair, that was actually the result of a blow to his head.

'''[[Beloved]]''', taken in the tradition of the Fool's country, giving names to one another that tell of the bonds that you share.

'''Cob''', a name he took briefly in his travels.

'''Jor''', a name he decided to use during his travels.

'''Bed Bolster''', a name used jokingly by the Fool when Fitz was recovering in the Mountian Kingdom.

== Appearance ==

Dark haired, dark skinned and dark eyed, Fitz is considered typically Farseer-like in his looks, baring a striking resemblance to his father. Although he does not think himself so, Fitz is also said to be handsome, even with his numerous scars.

== Parentage and childhood ==

Fitz is the son of prince [[Chivalry (King-In-Waiting)|Chivalry]] [[Farseer]] and an unknown Mountain woman. His grandfather brought him to [[Verity]] when he was about six years old. Verity was in [[Moonseye]] at the time, so his mother probably lived nearby. As he was a bastard of the [[King-in-Waiting]], he was the reason for his father's abdication from the crown. Fitz doesn't remember his childhood before coming to the Farseers, or has decided to forget it, hence always being vague when it comes to his age. He actually has some memories, but denies remembering them and later puts them into a [[Stone-dragon]].

Fitz was given to [[Burrich]], Chivalry's right hand man, to raise.

== Early years ==

Fitz grew up in [[Buckkeep]]. He first lived in the [[Buckkeep stables]] with Burrich. His first companion and friend was a puppy, [[Nosy]], with whom he formed his first [[Wit-bond]]. With Nosy he roamed around in the [[Buckkeep town]] and was known there as [[Newboy]]. As Newboy, he came to know [[Molly]] Chandler.

When Burrich noticed their Wit-bond, Nosy was taken away from him and Fitz believed Burrich had killed him.

When he got King [[Shrewd]]'s attention, he got a room in the keep and formal training of a royal.

== Training ==

After Shrewd's recognition of him, Fitz swore an oath of loyalty to always serve the Farseer throne. Fitz started to take lessons in Buckkeep, learning around the hearths with various cousins and other royal children, and taking lessons in things such as reading and writing with [[Fedwren]]. Around this time, he also started to take secret lessons with [[Chade]] to become a Buckkeep assassin, learning to be swift, confident and quiet by various childish games and pranks, such as hiding the cooks scissors and having to memorize objects he had only seen briefly or in passing, and his loyalty to Shrewd was tested to its limits.

It was at the begining of Fitz's training that the [[Red Ship War]]'s started, and the need for more people to be trained with the [[Skill]] arose. After being tested, Fitz showed Skill ability and started his lessons with [[Galen]], the Skillmaster. Galen was said to hate Fitz as much as he loved his father, and was openly harsh with him in lessons until Burrich challanged him in front of the [[Witness Stones]], on the agreement that if he won it was the will of the gods that Fitz had the right to learn the Skill unharmed and despite of his bastard blood.

''Still need to include - [[Sooty]], the [[Skill]], [[the Fool]], [[Patience]], the naming ceremony - Changer.''

== Actions during the Red Ship War ==
Poisoning the [[Forged]], serving aboard the warship, meeting [[Nighteyes]], dying, travelling to the [[Mountain Kingdom]] and back, [[Regal]], [[Kettricken]], [[Verity]] teaching the Skill, reasons leading to following the trail of Verity, [[Jhaampe]], [[Kettle]], the ruined Elderling city, fathering of [[Dutiful]], giving up on [[Molly]], killing all the bad guys. [[Elfbark]] should probably be mentioned here.

== Quiet years as Tom Badgerlock ==
[[Tom Badgerlock]]
Basically covered in the end of AQ and in the first few chapters of FE where he accounts his doings to the Fool. Travelling around with Nighteyes, visiting [[Cursed Shores]] and [[Bingtown]], finding the cabin, [[Starling]] visiting, [[Hap]], [[Jinna]]

== Return to Buckkeep ==
Acting as a servant to Lord Golden, going after Dutiful, the death of Nighteyes, problems with [[Jinna]], [[Hap]] and the [[Witted]].

== Journey to Aslevjal and beyound ==
Sailing to the [[Out Islands]], journeying above and belove the glacier, meeting the [[Pale Woman]], travelling through [[Skill-pillar|Skill-pillars]] several times, bringing the Fool back to life.

== Ever After ==
Taking the role of king in anything but name, winning back [[Molly]] etc.
