Petrah Blueblood

In a people bred to feel nothing, she grieved out loud — and the thing that marked her as broken is the thing that turned hundreds of witches against Morath.

Petrah Blueblood is the Blueblood heir and Wing Leader whose grief made her an outsider among the Ironteeth, from Throne of Glass — the witch Manon saves in the War Games, the one who mourns a wyvern like a person, and the one who finally leads the Ironteeth rebellion in the skies over Orynth.

She's a Blueblood heir who keeps choosing fairness in a place that rarely bothers with it.

Her clan
The Blueblood witches, and doing right by them.
Fairness
She stood against Iskra's cruelty when standing cost something.

Her heart

Keelie

In the War Games she fell, and Abraxos caught her mid-air — Keelie didn't make it. She never performs the grief, but it's underneath every fair call she makes afterward. When she turns from Iskra and toward Manon, it's the choice of a witch who's already paid enough to know the difference between strength and cruelty.

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.
