The Parlour

Luminita Gry

Luminata GryLuminita was such a sweet girl.  Her name means “little light” and so she was to her mother while she was alive.  Luminita would light up the room with her laughter until the day everything changed.   She remembers it darkly, and tries to shove anything of the memory from her.   But it troubles her...always.    Her mom died in that memory, but she refuses to face it.  And so she goes on each day.  Things are not easy for Luminita.   She is Madame Nikolett's servant girl.  It is not pleasant working for her, but it is what she was trained to do.  She knows it is an honor working for the Queen, but she still doesn't like her.  The 'woman' openly covets her husband!  “I hate her!”    Luminita is liked by almost everyone in the camp, but many feel sorry for her.   They blame the headaches on a curse. “She's cursed I tell you. Have you seen her nose bleed?  It isn't natural.”   They say she should have married Durriken and all would have been well.   She loves Garridan and he is very sweet and loves her in return.
