Idashwy, a Terriswoman and Steelrunner Feruchemist, worked as a bookkeeper for a jeweler and lived in a fine apartment. After behaving erratically and speaking of visits from her dead brother's spirit, she vanished; Wax and Wayne later found her dead in her kitchen. Her disappearance and death became part of the investigation into a frightening pattern of events.
