Born to Blackwater, bartered to two itinerants (Lestan and Reverie). On the mainland, she and her three siblings were given to Heda and Caracal - two practicing catholics of Sweetharbor. Life here was idyllic until Caracal died, Judah drowned, and the survivors were forced inland. Ava became seriously injured during a hunt, tended to by a man named Etienne. From there, the survivors formed Rivenwood -- but Ava heard to sea calling, and left the hearth of Rivenwood for unknown waters.
