Willo

Dancer is Willo’s son. Their relationship is strained by his concealed wizard inheritance and impending departure, though Willo arranges his training and stands up for him.

Willo is Bird’s mother. She accepts that Bird is called to become a Demonai warrior and tells Han he cannot follow her or remain in a relationship with her.

Willo gives Han a place to stay at Marisa Pines and supports him; Han intends to return to her camp and pass along Mam’s thanks and apology.

Willo considers the powerful Bayar family dangerous and intends to appeal to the queen over wizards entering the mountains.

Willo was apprenticed to Elena after her naming ceremony and learned healing and other skills from her; Elena’s story reveals this history.

Willo says she will speak to the queen and press her to enforce the Naéming restrictions keeping wizards out of the mountains.
