Maitreyi of Icehome
Maitreyi has an easy time of going unnoticed. Her snub nose, small stature, stout figure, and light-lashed brown eyes are decidedly plain, and her thin blonde hair is woven always into braids atop her head.

Having been a controversial and compelling teacher at Icehome's primary school, she is known to many of the city's nobles and notables and their up-and-coming children. In fact, she is rather intimately linked to this class: She bore a son to a minor Dragon-Blood official who then adopted the boy as his own.
