she is the same person in both books, but 16 to 30 is a big gap with a lot of big events in the middle. many carryovers will have 2 parts like this because I have different readers for both books.

16 years old

wild long blond hair she keeps tucked up in a hat, braid, or bun.

blue eyes, although they are almost snow white. They get darker when she's tired.

A self-described "Natural Disaster" she never can get through a day without some kind of mess. She is instinctive, likable and bright, although if she doesn't like someone they are in for one hell of a bad day. Nyra hates being ordered into a responsibility, but will happily take on projects to completion so long as she is left to her own devices. A natural teacher and leader with a gift for finding talent and getting people where they will be most effective, she is actually terrified of leading, instead she often serves as a second in command ensuring the person she decided was in charge has everything they need for success.

Hopes and dreams
Nyra always wanted her own family, or at least her own sparrow.
Her dream house is a 3 bedroom tree house with plumbing and internet.
