Yeran
He cheated to beat her in the clan contest, and she dodged it, won clean, and knocked him off his ruk. His father announced the engagement the same day.
Yeran is the young captain of the Berlad clan of ruk-riders, from Tower of Dawn — a serious, hard-faced warrior of the Southern Continent, Borte's rival-turned-betrothed, who trades insults with her in public and musters a war-host to save her the moment she is in real danger.

What he loves
The patient one.
Steady where she is a storm — the rider who traded insults with Borte for years and never once mistook them for the truth.
Borte
Gone for her long before either of them said so. He can wait. He has.
His ruk
Bonded and sure — the steadiest thing in a life spent circling a girl who will not sit still.
His hearth
His own aerie, his own people. Loyal down to the bone.
Patience
He never needed her to say it first. He only needed her to get there. She did.
Borte
All those years of barbs and he never flinched — because he always knew what they were. Yeran is the patient one: gone for Borte long before she would let it be a thing, content to trade insult for insult until she finally stopped pretending. It was always going to be her. He just waited for her to say so.
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.
