Nessa

Nessa Kentigern is the sister of Conall and Garrigan and a good friend of Meira.

Biography
Snow Like Ashes - Nessa was a baby at the time of Spring's invasion. She was taken to the Abril work camp, where she grew up. She was taken care of by her older brothers, Conall and Garrigan, who told her what they could remember of Winter. Nessa found the memories extremely precious, as she did not remember anything of Winter. Her brothers also taught her how to read by the inscriptions in the tunnels below Abril, just in case no one who remembered Winter survived. When she was old enough, she joined her brothers working in the palace grounds.

When Meira came to the work camp and was put in a cage with Nessa and her brothers, Nessa was filled with hope at seeing evidence that there was life outside of the work camps, even though the last Winterian refugees to arrive in the camp had soon been killed and had not helped the people of the work camp. Nessa became good friends with Meira and after the work camps were freed, they returned together to Winter.

Personality
Nessa was a dreamer, who still had ambitions beyond the work camp. In the future, she had hoped to become a world traveller, or a seamstress like her mother. She enjoyed learning and was passionate about the things she did and about the people she loved. Nessa was not a soldier, but still wanted to contribute whatever she could to helping Winter in the war.
