Glennis Crochan

Glennis Crochan

Manon was raised from the cradle to murder Crochans. The ancient Crochan who turns out to be her own blood doesn't run from her — she crowns her.

Glennis Crochan is Manon Blackbeak's great-grandmother and the matriarch of a hidden Crochan camp, from Throne of Glass — keeper of an eternal flame carried out of a burning city, and the one who names the Ironteeth-raised killer Queen of Witches. She is the Crochan side of Manon's grief, the family the Blackbeaks spent a century teaching her to hate.

What she loves

Crochan crone-queen

The crone-queen of the Crochans, and the great-grandmother who saw in Manon the end of five hundred years.

  • The Crochan people

    Her scattered, hunted people — the red-cloaked witches driven to the edges of the world, and still hers to gather.

  • Home, and the curse's end

    Five centuries of exile, and the one dream underneath all of it: to break the curse and go home.

  • Manon

    The half-Crochan heir — the one who could end what no Crochan alone ever could.

  • The old witch-magic

    The true magic of the Crochans — the kind the Ironteeth spent five hundred years trying to end.

Her heart

Manon

Glennis loved her people and the dream of home long before she met the girl — but Manon is where those loves meet. Half Crochan, half Ironteeth, and the heir the long centuries had been waiting for: in her great-granddaughter, Glennis sees the curse broken and the Crochans walking home at last. She guides; she does not command.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
