Overview
Theodora has been fighting for Ashwood's reputation since she was Rooted. She wants the victory more than anyone -- more than Anne, who just arrived and doesn't understand what eleven years of losing feels like.
Her Heartcraft specializes in transformation: mirrors into windows, ordinary into extraordinary. She runs the Grove with fierce competence.
At Thornwood
Her dynamic with Anne crackles because they are both leaders, neither likes following, and they have to find a way to share the space. Assessment becomes reluctant teamwork becomes genuine loyalty.
Her younger brother was taken by Veylan's people. She has been feeding information to keep him safe. This is not villainy. It is a sister making an impossible choice with no good options.
