Alyssa Milano as Rae Franziska Shadowdancer |
Rae is known for having been the Fool of Adelgar for nearly a decade, and her reputation for trouble-making oft proceeds her. While she's rather young, she still holds a bit of respect from her pack mates, some claiming that she's a creature of many talents, and far more the fighter than her bubbly exterior would lead one to believe. Some say she's a bit off, even for a Shadowdancer; going mad from visions and shadows that haunt her. It's also no secret that she has been marked by the Black Road, though she does not embrace it, fighting tooth and claw against the darkness.
Whispers say she is the most trusted confidante of Emrys, his clever right hand. His naming her Viscountess of Blukhav only seemed to confirm such. While it was never something spoken of often, she is the daughter of Izaak, Alpha of her clan. She has taken the Rebman, Maddock, as her Mate, and he has proven himself to both know and understand the ways of the Weir—along with being able to handle the Weir jester.
She is often accompanied by Raginmund, or her aserbe Marrok.
Her brother, Niklas, has been named Ulfrike of Weirmonken. Time will tell if she will serve him as she did Emrys, or if the little jester will find a new role.
Quotes
Gerard rumbles, "This woman here," and he nods to Rae, "is exactly as harmful as rainbows and daffodils. She has the toothsome growl of a wet puppy dog and the diabolical cunning of a butterfly."
Never had a glimpse of the dreams of birds nor the things a fox may know;
Never had the shape of the sacred words, never thought I'd let her go,
But she smiled and cried, "It's time, it's time," and how the winds did blow,
And she kissed me twice, and she left me once, as she sang back rich and slow,
"Then I will go spinning mischief
Until the moon is up,
And I will go pouring wisdom
Into your dreamer's cup.
Come along, we haven't long
Before the night is through,
And I have much to steal away
And much to give to you."
Never would have thought of the firebird's fate or the change a fire can start,
Never would have thought to hesitate, though I knew she'd break my heart,
And she smiled and cried, "We're born to sail a sky no map can chart."
