Winterblade

Winterblade is a ferret pirate, captain of the ''Seawraith. ''

History
Winterblade's only appearance is in the The Quest for Rinaria short stories. She translated the clues discovered in Lunep and also led the way across the geyser field. She fell into a hot spring while rescuing one of her crew, but survived thanks to Snowhawk and Eneng. Winterblade is a raider; her ship is the ''Seawraith. ''

Snowhawk and Winterblade are rivals, borderline enemies. Snowhawk claims in The Icy Cliff that it is because Winterblade attacked a ship Snowhawk had targeted and gotten away with a fortune, leaving Snowhawk only scraps.

Family and Friends
Winterblade can seem abrasive and confrontational, but in general she gets along with all the characters in the Quest for Rinaria with two exceptions.

Eneng
Eneng is Winterblade's older brother, with whom she quarrels almost relentlessly. She loves him dearly, and is glad to rely on him, but refuses to show it. It's mentioned that thank you are some of the only kind words heard between the two.

Snowhawk
Snowhawk is Winterblade's rival, and Winterblade is usually eager at the prostpect of showing her up. Their mutual hatred allegedly began when they both targeted a ship and Winterblade got it.

Skills
Winterblade can read in the ancient language and translate it into readable languages.

Her ship is painted blue, so unsuspecting cargo ships cannot see her until it's too late!

Personality
Winterblade lives on the outside of her fur with very little patience. She overreacts to almost everything, takes offense where none was intended, and indulges in petty drama like her feud with Snowhawk. Most of this, however, is a protective layer to conceal uncertainty and fear. She is extremely courageous, doing what needs to be done in spite of her fear, such as rescuing one of her crewferrets.
