&lt;div&gt;'''Tats''' is the human/[[Elderling]] keeper of the [[dragon]] [[Fente]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike the other keepers, Tats is not Rain Wild Trader born, but born into slavery as one of the [[Tattooed]]. He comes to the Rain Wilds with his mother, who dies shortly afterward. [[Thymara]]'s father employs him in their family hunting and gathering business from a young age, and he and Thymara have a long-standing friendship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the expedition to find [[Kelsingra]], Tats has a romantic relationship with [[Jerd]]. This puts some strain on his friendship with Thymara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His relationship with Fente is relatively easy. He accepts the challenges she puts before him. With Thymara, [[Sylve]] and occasionally [[Rapskal]], Tats helps care for a [[Relpda|copper]] and [[Spit|silver]] dragon who are left keeperless, there being insufficient keepers for the number of dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his [[Elderling]] changes, his scales simply enhance the traits of his skin, including the tattoo on his face. It appears that Fente admires Tats for who he his, and seeks to enhance the physical appeal she sees in him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tats makes his feelings for [[Thymara]] known in [[Dragon Haven]], but Thymara is wary of sleeping with him in case she falls pregnant. Tats expresses jealousy of other young men, especially [[Rapskal]], who pay attention to Thymara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Thymara, he has a strong dislike for [[Greft]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Like [[Sedric Meldar]], '''Carson Lupskip''' is not initially a dragon keeper. He starts out as one of the three hunters accompanying the [[keepers]] and [[dragons]]. Eventually, after the dragon [[Kalo]] discards [[Greft]] he becomes keeper for the dragon [[Spit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carson's nephew is [[Davvie]], who has accompanied him on the [[Tarman]] expedition as a hunter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Dragon Haven]], it becomes apparent that Carson has feelings for Sedric, and they later form a relationship together. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Jess Torkef''' is one of the three hunters on the [[Tarman]] expedition. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rain Wild Chronicles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jess is employed by shadowy figures that work for the [[Duke of Chalced]] and has been engaged by them to steal the [[dragon]]s' body parts to cure the Duke. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He attempts to blackmail [[Leftrin]], and persuades [[Greft]] over to his cause. He spies on [[Sedric Meldar]] and assumes he has been employed by the same people. Although it's likely the person who approached Sedric is in on the plot, Sedric is both na√Øve and has ultimately begun to bond with the [[Relpda|copper dragon]] he stole blood from, and wants nothing to do with Jess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leftrin confronts Jess just before the flood of the [[Rain Wild River]] and beats him physically. Later, Sedric and the copper dragon emerge from the flood near where Jess has also landed. Jess tries to talk Sedric into helping him kill and cut up the dragon, but Sedric fights him, and the dragon ultimately eats Jess.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I'm not at all sure it was Patience's idea to move to Withywoods etc. From all the clues scattered around the books, it seems to me to be the influence of Queen Desire/Regal (maybe even Galen too, even though this is early). Regal remarks several times how &amp;quot;my mother the queen&amp;quot; doesn't approve of Fitz and Chivalry's eccentric wife etc etc. It has always seemed to me Fitz was the perfect excuse to move Regal up a notch in the order of inheritance. Besides, Patience may feel jealous, but she has no reason to be angry or feel betrayed, as Fitz was conceived BEFORE their marriage. Thoughts? --[[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 09:22, 3 August 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Withywoods ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also have the sense that it was perhaps Chivalry's own idea to step down, so as to protect Fitz. --BelleFree&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;'''Sedric Meldar''' is from a middle class [[Bingtown]] trading family, and is described as handsome and well mannered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Keeper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sedric is a childhood friend of [[Alise Kincarron]], and he suggests that his lover and employer, [[Hest Finbok]], marry her for convenience. Hest does this, and for many years Alise has no idea of her friend's affair with her husband. When Sedric supports Alise's plan to travel to the [[Rain Wilds]], pointing out that the plan was in their marriage contract, Hest punishes Sedric by forcing him to go with her, and act as her chaperon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is hurt by Hest's punishment but determined to find a way to build a life for the two of them where they can live freely. Sedric connects with a [[Chalced]]ean and makes a deal to gather dragon parts, for which the [[Duke of Chalced]] will pay handsomely. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sedric is initially incapable of hearing the [[dragon]]s' thought communication, and compares dragon noises to the moo of a cow, which the dragon [[Sintara]] finds offensive. He continues to think of the dragons as rather ungainly animals, and builds a stash of scales and flesh from helping [[Thymara]] and [[Sylve]] work on the keeperless [[Spit|silver dragon]]'s injured tail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One night he sees an opportunity: the keeperless [[Relpda|copper dragon]] is ill and sleeping. He creeps over to her and steals scales, then blood. Without really understanding what drives him, he drinks a large amount of her blood, planting the seeds for forming a bond with the dragon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Haven ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially the blood makes him sick, and while he lies fevered in his cabin, [[Jess]] ferrets out his secret store of dragon parts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sedric begins to build a stronger connection with the dragon. At the same time, he slowly comes to accept that Hest never loved him, and for the first time, he fully acknowledges how cruel and sadistic Hest is. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the flood, when he defeats [[Jess]]'s attempt to kill the copper dragon, [[Carson]] comes looking for him. He and Carson begin to build a more loving relationship. He reveals his relationship with [[Hest]] to [[Alise Kincarron|Alise]], and begs her forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually as his bond with [[Relpda]] grows in strength, he continues to help the dragon, resulting in her choosing to begin his transformation into an [[Elderling]]. Relpda sees his theft of her blood as his desire to become closer to her, and expresses quite clearly to him that his nearness makes it easier for her to think and express herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sedric makes an effort to take his own life, but Relpda sends Carson to save him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== City of Dragons ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Across the river from [[Kelsingra]], Sedric and Carson move into an abandoned hut together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Relpda''' is a female copper [[dragon]], originally partnered by no [[keeper]], but aided by several. Initially she has few memories and is inarticulate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Keeper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The copper dragon is cared for by [[Thymara]], [[Sylve]] and [[Tats]], with help from others. Her mind is foggy and she is less strong than the other dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the end of [[Dragon Keeper]], [[Sedric Meldar]] takes scales and blood from the copper dragon, with the aim of selling them to the [[Duke of Chalced]]. However, he is strangely driven to drink some of the blood. He packs what he has stolen and mentally congratulates himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Haven ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sedric lies ill for several days after drinking the blood and the dragon's thoughts begin to intrude into his mind. She doesn't hate Sedric for taking her blood, but instead is protective of him. He begins to change into an [[Elderling]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Sedric is ill, so is the dragon. She is guarded by [[Mercor]], who senses she may die. She nearly succumbs to parasites, and the keepers rescue her from an infestation of [[Rasp snakes]]. Mercor shares her name, Relpda, with the group, and watches over her while she heals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the massive flood takes them away from [[Tarman]], Sedric and Relpda are dependent on each other to survive. When [[Jess]] tries to kill Relpda, Sedric fights him off, and Relpda eats the hunter. They are eventually found by [[Carson]], who leads them back to the Tarman. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later Relpda becomes distressed when Sedric tries to take his own life, and she warns Carson to save him in time. Relpda confesses that she knows Sedric took her blood, but she has forgiven him, and is happy for Sedric to be her keeper, and to help his change into an Elderling.  &lt;br /&gt;

He holds hostages among the [[Chalced|Chalcedeans]] in order to persuade their families to aid him in the search for dragon parts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Tawny Man Trilogy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Icefyre''' is a large, black male [[Dragon]] (''drake''). Thinking that he was the last dragon in the world, he decided to sleep forever in the ice of [[Aslevjal]]. Prince [[Dutiful]] was challenged to remove the surrounding ice and bring Icefyre's head to the hearth of [[Elliania]]'s motherhouse. Although the Prince didn't know it at the time, this was the wish of the [[Pale Woman]] and not that of  the [[Outislander]]s who feared and respected the creature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of his [[Wit|Witted]] coterie, [[Fitz]] and the [[Fool]], Dutiful frees Icefyre and fulfilled the quest, if rather unconventionally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Icefyre learns of another living dragon, he becomes the mating partner of this female dragon (''queen''), named [[Tintaglia]]. Their offspring may become the future [[Lords of the Three Realms]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rain Wild Chronicles ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[City of Dragons]], he and Tintaglia are attacked by humans, presumably sent by the [[Duke of Chalced]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Jerd''' is the female human/[[Elderling]] keeper of the [[dragon]] [[Veras]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jerd is a physically strong, solidly built young woman who is a reliable caretaker for Veras.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the journey, Jerd acts careless of the traditional [[Rain Wilds]] rule against those heavily touched by the Rain Wilds that denies them the right to mate and have children. After sleeping with several of the young men in the camp, she becomes pregnant. The father of her child is not known for certain, but [[Greft]] claims it to prevent any fights and to, as he says, keep her under control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually the child is stillborn, which might be revealing of what happens to partially formed Elderlings becoming pregnant, as the child is not human nor Elderling, but is rather half human, half [[serpent]]. The child's malformations could also be attributed to the perils of the Rain Wilds.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Tats''' is the human/[[Elderling]] keeper of the [[dragon]] [[Fente]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike the other keepers, Tats is not Rain Wild Trader born, but born into slavery as one of the [[Tattooed]]. He comes to the Rain Wilds with his mother, who dies shortly afterward. [[Thymara]]'s father employs him in their family hunting and gathering business from a young age, and he and Thymara have a long-standing friendship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in the expedition to find [[Kelsingra]], Tats has a romantic relationship with [[Jerd]]. This puts some strain on his friendship with Thymara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His relationship with Fente is relatively easy. He accepts the challenges she puts before him. With Thymara, [[Sylve]] and occasionally [[Rapskal]], Tats helps care for a [[Relpda|copper]] and [[Spit|silver]] dragon who are left keeperless, their being insufficient people for the number of dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his [[Elderling]] changes, his scales simply enhance the traits of his skin, including the tattoo on his face. It appears that Fente admires Tats for who he his, and seeks to enhance the physical appeal she sees in him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tats makes his feelings for [[Thymara]] known in [[Dragon Haven]], but Thymara is wary of sleeping with him in case she falls pregnant. Tats expresses jealousy of other young men, especially [[Rapskal]], who pay attention to Thymara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Thymara, he has a strong dislike for [[Greft]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Greft''' was the human/[[Elderling]] keeper of the [[dragon]] [[Kalo]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the original dragon keepers, he is the oldest and the one most heavily marked by the [[Rain Wilds]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early on he fashions himself the leader of the keepers, but does not really succeed, since not all are willing to follow him. His methods are proven by his actions to be motivated selfishly; on one occasion he steals the credit for [[Thymara]]'s hunted elk, and when the keepers lose most of their equipment in a storm, he does not share what remains to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greft eventually pairs off with his fellow dragon keeper [[Jerd]], with whom he has slept numerous times, and it is possible that he is the father of her miscarried child. Even though he feels some uncertainty on this point himself, Greft claims the unborn child as his own, in what he expresses to some of his fellows as an effort to keep the peace among the other keepers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greft's methods of &amp;quot;leadership&amp;quot; offend [[Thymara]]. He urges her several times to choose a mate; Thymara feels strongly that she will select her own mate, if she chooses one at all, rather than decide based on what Greft argues is best for the group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hunter [[Jess]] brings Greft around to thinking that dragon parts should be sold, which causes the dragons to take a strong dislike to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, Greft tries to demand blood from [[Kalo]], which prompts his dragon to revoke his keeper status. Without the guidance of Kalo, the changes within his body begin to kill him. Though no conclusive evidence has been given to support it, it is quite possible that [[Kalo]], or another [[dragon]], intentionally made Greft's changes deadly after the revocation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greft tries to escape, and steals [[Sedric Meldar]]'s vials of dragon blood along with a substantial portion of the travellers' supplies from [[Tarman]], in the hopes of returning to [[Trehaug]] and selling them. Sedric and [[Carson]] follow him, and find that he has been fatally attacked by a [[gallator]]. His body is surrounded by Sedric's empty vials; the dragon parts did not save him from death.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Spit''' is a male silver [[dragon]], originally partnered by no keeper. [[Thymara]], [[Tats]] and [[Sylve]] care for him when his tail is wounded. Eventually he partners with [[Carson]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver dragon is born with few memories and little ability to communicate. As he spends more time among the keepers he gains awareness. After the flood of the [[Rain Wild River]], he gives a demonstration of his increasing physical strength; his venom is powerful, and he announces to the other dragons that he names himself after his strongest trait, Spit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Carson]] steps up to become Spit's sole keeper after [[Greft]] is ejected by [[Kalo]]. Carson, who has an affinity for animals of all sizes, is impressed with Spit's tenacity and cunning, even when Spit uses him and [[Sedric]] as bait for [[gallators]] during their hunt for Greft and his stolen supplies.&lt;br /&gt;

She is the youngest of the keepers, but is paired with the wisest and oldest-seeming of the dragons. In [[Dragon Keeper]], she becomes friends with [[Thymara]], [[Tats]] and [[Rapskal]]. The three of them take on the task of caring for [[Relpda|two]] [[Spit|dragons]] who are without keepers. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Thymara''' is the human/[[Elderling]] keeper of the [[dragon]] [[Sintara]], initially known as Skymaw amongst the keepers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Keeper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara, born with claws and deemed unfit to live by [[Rain Wilds]] standards, is saved by her father, despite her mother's disapproval of his act. Their only child to survive, she is raised as a hunter and gatherer in the canopy of the Rain Wild forest. She is resourceful and works well with her father, and her father's helper [[Tats]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She witnesses the dragons emerging from their cocoons at [[Cassarick]] and can understand them immediately. She is full of sympathy for their malformations but admires them all the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she is offered a position as a dragon keeper, she persuades her father that the experience will be good for her; as someone so deeply changed by the Rain Wilds, she will not be allowed to marry, and she perceives this opportunity will allow her to have a life of her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she joins the keepers, she first believes they are all friends and she has found a place she can call her own. As the story progresses she learns that the web of relationships is more complex and difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her close friends are [[Tats]], [[Sylve]] and [[Rapskal]]. These three take on the task of caring for the [[Relpda|two]] [[Spit|dragons]] who are left without keepers, in addition to caring for their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara has a tense opposition with [[Greft]]. She at first perceives him as self-serving, which is borne out when Greft claims he killed an elk that she had hunted herself. She is further uncomfortable with Greft's desire to pair off the keepers and is insulted by his suggestions that she should choose a mate in order to keep the peace. Thymara prefers to make such decisions for herself. She similarly rejects Greft's posturing as leader of the keepers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unique among the keepers, Thymara has a rather tumultuous relationship with her dragon, with them both professing dislike of each other at numerous time. She eventually forms a tenuous friendship with [[Alise Kincarron]], who seems to have an easier time responding to the dragon's glamour. Thymara feels uneasy about the dragon's charm, and knowing it for a glamour reacts by walling off her emotions and simply caring for her in a practical way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the blue dragon she selects to keep will not reveal her name, Thymara names her &amp;quot;Skymaw&amp;quot; after a beautiful but deadly Rain Wild flower. Later, [[Mercor]] reveals her name is [[Sintara]], much to the blue dragon's ire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Haven ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, after treating her dragon by removing a [[Rasp snake]] from Sintara's body, she is splattered with dragon blood and ingests some of it, causing her scaling to accelerate and increasing the connection strength to Sintara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to their irregular relationship, neither is truly aware of this, and the changes to a large degree proceed without conscious direction. Eventually [[Mercor]] forces [[Sintara]] to take charge of the changes. When Sintara covertly inspects Thymara, she notes the unusual type of changes the young woman is going through, but does not see fit to inform her of them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the time after this, Sintara makes sure Thymara learns a lot about dragon wings, especially about how they function. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara forms a relationship of sorts with her childhood friend [[Tats]] in [[Dragon Haven]], but she remains wary of sleeping with him, in case she becomes pregnant. She keeps their physical contact limited. Tats accuses her of teasing him, and she reacts with hurt and affront, and reminds him that pregnancy is immediately dangerous to her in a way that he cannot experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She also has a charged friendship with [[Rapskal]], although the tenor of their interactions is different. Tats is a childhood friend and confidant, and Rapskal is a happy-go-lucky but subtly intelligent companion who lightens her mood. Further complicating her friendships with the two young men is an air of competition between Rapskal and Tats for her physical attentions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== City of Dragons ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kelsingra, Thymara discovers some of the city's secrets, and willingly shares what she finds with the other keepers.&lt;br /&gt;

== Dragon Keeper ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara, born with claws and deemed unfit to live by [[Rain Wild]] standards, is saved by her father, despite her mother's disapproval of his act. Their only child to survive, she is raised as a hunter and gatherer in the canopy of the Rain Wild forest. She is resourceful and works well with her father, and her father's helper [[Tats]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She witnesses the dragons emerging from their cocoons at [[Cassarick]] and can understand them immediately. She is full of sympathy for their malformations but admires them all the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she is offered a position as a dragon keeper, she persuades her father that the experience will be good for her; as someone so deeply changed by the Rain Wilds, she will not be allowed to marry, and she perceives this opportunity will allow her to have a life of her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she joins the keepers, she first believes they are all friends and she has found a place she can call her own. As the story progresses she learns that the web of relationships is more complex and difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her close friends are [[Tats]], [[Sylve]] and [[Rapskal]]. These three take on the task of caring for the [[Relpda|two]] [[Spit|dragons]] who are left without keepers, in addition to caring for their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara has a tense opposition with [[Greft]]. She at first perceives him as self-serving, which is borne out when Greft claims he killed an elk that she had hunted herself. She is further uncomfortable with Greft's desire to pair off the keepers and is insulted by his suggestions that she should choose a mate in order to keep the peace. Thymara prefers to make such decisions for herself. She similarly rejects Greft's posturing as leader of the keepers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unique among the keepers, Thymara has a rather tumultuous relationship with her dragon, with them both professing dislike of each other at numerous time. She eventually forms a tenuous friendship with [[Alise Kincarron]], who seems to have an easier time responding to the dragon's glamour. Thymara feels uneasy about the dragon's charm, and knowing it for a glamour reacts by walling off her emotions and simply caring for her in a practical way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the blue dragon she selects to keep will not reveal her name, Thymara names her &amp;quot;Skymaw&amp;quot; after a beautiful but deadly Rain Wild flower. Later, [[Mercor]] reveals her name is [[Sintara]], much to the blue dragon's ire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Haven ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, after treating her dragon by removing a [[Rasp snake]] from Sintara's body, she is splattered with dragon blood and ingests some of it, causing her scaling to accelerate and increasing the connection strength to Sintara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to their irregular relationship, neither is truly aware of this, and the changes to a large degree proceed without conscious direction. Eventually [[Mercor]] forces [[Sintara]] to take charge of the changes. When Sintara covertly inspects Thymara, she notes the unusual type of changes the young woman is going through, but does not see fit to inform her of them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the time after this, Sintara makes sure Thymara learns a lot about dragon wings, especially about how they function. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thymara forms a relationship of sorts with her childhood friend [[Tats]] in [[Dragon Haven]], but she remains wary of sleeping with him, in case she becomes pregnant. She keeps their physical contact limited. Tats accuses her of teasing him, and she reacts with hurt and affront, and reminds him that pregnancy is immediately dangerous to her in a way that he cannot experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She also has a charged friendship with [[Rapskal]], although the tenor of their interactions is different. Tats is a childhood friend and confidant, and Rapskal is a happy-go-lucky but subtly intelligent companion who lightens her mood. Further complicating her friendships with the two young men is an air of competition between Rapskal and Tats for her physical attentions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== City of Dragons ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kelsingra, Thymara discovers some of the city's secrets, and willingly shares what she finds with the other keepers.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;BelleFree: Trying to flesh this out a bit more since Sintara is such a strong character. Having trouble with time and energy to remember/look up some of the specifics of what happened in which booK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Sintara''', also known by the name &amp;quot;Skymaw&amp;quot; (given to her by [[Thymara]]), is a blue, female [[dragon]] (''queen''), formerly the serpent [[Sisarqua]] of [[Maulkin]]'s tangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She is born stronger than many of the other dragons who emerge at [[Cassarick]], but one wing is substantially smaller than the other one. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her keeper is [[Thymara]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Keeper == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sintara considers most humans beneath her dignity. She finds her lack of ability to fly deeply frustrating and avoids thinking about it as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She appreciates attention from Thymara and [[Alise Kincarron]], but feels that neither of them give her the admiration she feels is her due. At first she will not share her true name with any of the humans, although the rest of her fellow dragons have shared theirs; [[Mercor]] finally tells Thymara her name is not &amp;quot;Skymaw&amp;quot; but Sintara. Sintara is affronted but adapts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sintara often prods Thymara toward behavior she thinks is appropriate for a &amp;quot;queen,&amp;quot; behaviors that may or may not be healthy for Thymara or in line with the young woman's wishes for herself. One of these instances leads her to trick Thymara into accidentally watching [[Greft]] and [[Jerd]] having an intimate moment in the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dragon Haven ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At [[Mercor]]'s urging, and his threat to take over if Sintara does not act, Sintara begins to take more control of Thymara's changes. By the end of the novel Thymara is in the beginning stages of becoming an [[Elderling]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sintara herself, motivated by [[Heeby]]'s outshining her by flying first, makes her first clumsy flight attempt.&lt;br /&gt;

Encountered on the [[Treasure Beach]] by [[Kennit]], who sails there, and by [[Fitz]] and [[Dutiful]] who travel through a [[skill-pillar]]. There is some suggestion that they are the offspring of [[dragons]] who spent too much time in human company and who therefore take on some human characteristics; much as [[Elderling]]s did in reverse, or perhaps more like the [[Rain Wild]] residents who become somewhat deformed, rather than elevated like the Elderlings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Others are somewhat frog-like in appearance with webbed digits and venonous claws. They have the [[Skill]] or some similar magic to a dragon's glamour, which they use to alter their appearance to the minds of the unwary. They are terrified of cats.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Girl-on-a-Dragon''' (originally announced as [[Realder's Dragon]]) was a [[stone-dragon]] named after the [[Skill-coterie]] member who gave heart to it, [[Realder]]. It stayed incompleted because [[Salt]], the leader of the coterie carving it, didn't want to lose her individuality and tried to keep herself separated in the girl part of the statue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When seeing her in the [[stone quarry]], [[the Fool]] felt sorry for her and started carving out the Stone-dragon with his [[Skill]]-touched fingers. After [[Fitz]] helped him by putting some of his memories in the Stone-dragon, Girl-on-a-Dragon came to being and finally flew away with [[Verity-as-Dragon]] to end the [[Red Ship War]]. He also carried the Fool on her back out of the quarry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the flight to end the Red Ship Wars Girl-on-a-Dragon came to rest in the [[Stone Garden]], along with the other stone dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later the Fool flew on her to [[Aslevjal]] in exchange for giving the [[Rooster Crown]] to her. Girl-on-a-Dragon returned Fitz's memories to him via the Fool when the Rooster Crown was given to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: At the end of [[Assassin's Quest]], Fitz and the Fool both think one of the completed stone dragons in the garden was Realder's dragon. By the end of [[Fool's Fate]], though, it has become clear that Girl-on-a-Dragon is the one Realder gave his life to.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The term for the leader of the tribes of the [[Mountain Kingdom]] who is considered a servant for his/her people and lives in [[Jhaampe]]. The tradition began with a wise woman who acted as a judge and settled disputes between the varying tribes of the mountains, and in doing so built the basis for the &amp;quot;kingdom.&amp;quot; The role of a Sacrifice covers all the aspects and needs of the Mountain folk, so the ruler might help to mend bridges as well as sacrifice their own life as a hostage during war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sacrifice's role is primarily that of serving the people. [[Kettricken]] takes her role as Sacrifice very seriously, and this sometimes puts her at odds with [[Six Duchies]] folk, especially in her early days as Queen-in-Waiting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She is tall and blonde. Her badge is the vixen.&lt;br /&gt;

After her brother [[Rurisk]] dies, she becomes heir - [[Sacrifice]] - to the Mountain Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farseer Trilogy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kettricken at first has difficulty adjusting to the differences in culture between her homeland in the [[Mountain Kingdom]] and the [[Six Duchies]]; she prefers austerity and is looked at askance by the Six Duchies' folk who expect their rulers to favor opulence. However, she eventually wins the hearts of several of the royal soldiers when she rides into battle during the [[Red Ship War]]; [[Foxglove]] becomes the leader of the Queen's Guard and proudly wears the Vixen Badge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitz makes every effort to help her fit in and becomes her friend, which eventually makes her a threat in [[Regal]]'s eyes. At Fitz's suggestion she embarks on a project to restore the [[Queen's Garden]], but her ideas of gardening differ wildly from the lush greenery traditional to the Six Duchies. Her life and unborn child are threatened when [[Rosemary]] smears lamp-black on the long stair to the tower where the garden sits, but she survives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Regal]] tries to use Kettricken as a pawn in his struggle to defeat Verity for the throne. After the death of King [[Shrewd]], [[Chade]] and the [[Fool]] spirit the pregnant Queen away from the vicious Regal, although Regal succeeds in hampering their progress. During her time in the mountains, her child is stillborn. When [[Fitz]] makes his way to the mountains and presents her with evidence that her husband lives, she embarks on a quest to find him even as Regal declares Verity dead and is crowned King. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Fitz, the Fool, [[Starling]], and [[Kettle]], she treks across the mountains to find Verity, who has found the quarry of the [[elderling]]s. While there, she becomes pregnant again with Verity's heir, Prince [[Dutiful]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tawny Man Trilogy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kettricken reigns as Queen while her son [[Dutiful]] is King-in-Waiting. With [[Chade]], she arranges a match between [[Dutiful]] and [[Elliania]], a [[Narcheska]] from the [[Out Islands.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked by a delegation from [[Bingtown]] and the [[Rain Wilds]] (at [[Tintaglia]]'s request) if the dragons that flew during the [[Red Ship War]] can help Tintaglia in her search for a mate, Kettricken graciously and regretfully refuses to share information, keeping the secret of Verity's dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kettricken repeatedly urges Fitz to take what she sees as his birthright: a public place at court. She shows loyalty to her old friend and kinsman-by-marriage.&lt;br /&gt;

Kyle, a [[Chalced|Chalcedean]] who believes women have no place aboard ship, removes Althea from Vivacia and installs his son [[Wintrow Vestrit]], whose schooling as a priest Kyle has interrupted for this purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kyle also removes Ephron's first mate [[Brashen Trell]], a social outcast who Ephron redeemed, from Vivacia's crew, and soon makes his plans known to make Vivacia a slaver ‚Äî to Althea and the rest of the family's horror, as a liveship will not tolerate so much human suffering. Keffria and Ronica begin to question their course to install Kyle as captain, despite Kyle's assurances he will treat his slaves gently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Althea is a longtime friend of the liveship [[Paragon]], who she first met as a little girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appearance ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Althea is petite and slender, and bears a striking resemblance to her nephew Wintrow. She has dark hair, skin rather tanned from much time aboard ship, and wears a wizardwood charm shaped like a skull at her navel to prevent conception. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Adulthood ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Kyle kicks her off Vivacia, Althea vows to get her ship back. She flees home and with help from [[Amber]] disguises herself as a ship's boy named &amp;quot;Athel Vestrit,&amp;quot; and works her way through a voyage on a seal-hunting ship, the [[Reaper]]. On that voyage she meets again with Brashen, who does his best to protect her and to help her be a good sailor without being obvious; there is tension between them as well as friendship. She proves very efficient at skinning the animals and packing the meat, and wins the respect of the captain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When at the end of the first voyage Althea asks for her ship's ticket and reveals her true identity, the Captain kicks her off the ship without pay for her deception, and for being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A pirate based in [[Divvytown]]. Captain of the [[Marietta]]. He wears a [[wizardwood]] charm carved in his own likeness on a strap around his wrist. He has built a strong crew of pirates, aided by his first mate, [[Sorcor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also known as the King of the Pirate Isles, Kennit is actually the son of [[Lucto Ludluck]] and was born aboard the family's liveship [[Paragon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kennit pirates [[Vivacia]] away from the [[Vestrit|Vestrit Family]] and takes [[Wintrow Vestrit|Wintrow]] hostage to help him keep Vivacia tractable. Kennit also maroons Vivacia's captain, [[Kyle Haven]], on [[Keyhole Island]], as well as kidnapping [[Althea Vestrit]] and [[Amber]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A hard, but pourous 'wood' that absorbs blood and memories. Used to create the [[liveship|liveships]] and certain small charms that can quicken from the life force of the wearer or wearers. [[Kennit]] has such a charm. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wizardwood is, in fact, Dragon cocoons, most of which were found in the [[Elderling]] city of [[Frengong]] by the [[Rain Wild Traders]]. It is also referred to as womb wood.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A ship made of [[wizardwood]] by the [[Rain Wild Traders]], and sold to families of the [[Bingtown Traders]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The price for a liveship is substantial, with families often committing further generations to fulfill the repayments. If a family is unable to pay, then a member of the liveship family might be surrendered to the [[Rain Wild Traders]]. This begets the phrase, &amp;quot;In blood or gold, the debt is owed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The figurehead of a liveship &amp;quot;quickens,&amp;quot; or comes to life, after three succeeding generations of the owning family have died on its decks. The memories of those who had died coupled with the ship's will and skill to sail flawlessly make the liveships matchless against other ships.

&lt;div&gt;The disputed western border of [[Chalced]]. Once known as the ''Serpent River''. In the [[Six Duchies]] it is called ''Rain River''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The river's water is highly acidic. Usually it is acidic enough to slowly dissolve wood or leather, but in the aftermath of quakes, the acidity increases dramatically. The water runs white and can eat swiftly through flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[liveship]]s are the only known vessels that can reliably survive the acid waters.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This change is not allowed to finish, as he dies during the flood of the [[Rain Wild River]], having been smashed up against debris.&lt;br /&gt;
