Character: Margaret

Of all the characters who were simply supposed to be background text, something to give the world life, Margaret was perhaps the only one to take on such a life of her own. She appears in the prologue of the book, the Seer's granddaughter who leaves the scene with in two pages. But my critique friends and even my husband demanded to know what happens to her and thus I have had to write her into four books.

Margaret is an eight year old human, four foot tall and fifty pounds wet. Her hair is curly brown and reaches her waist. Her doe like brown eyes watch the world with a soul much older then her age. She wears typical dress for an eight year old from a stable family, a skirt of blues and a tunic of the same color. She likes to wears ribbons in her hair and a shawl like her grandmother does.

She is always very helpful, very quiet speaker, and truthful to a fault. She is curious about history, magic and other races and will pester anyone who might know anything about those subjects. Her grandmother is a great Seer who people from all over come to see, though they live moderately. Margaret has shown no magical aptitude at the moment, which her grandmother is grateful for because being a Seer is a hard mark to live with.

The PC's might come into contact with Margaret during or after the High King's Sword books at the inn and tavern in Devonshire owned by Joseph. She spends most of her time there with her mother's friend, Joseph, and his children because Margaret's grandmother teaches the children.
