Kandrina

About
Kandrina is the main character in the first three books, and plays an important role in the fourth as her sister attempts to rescue her. She is fourteen at the beginning of The Colourless, and ages through the series to be nearly eighteen at the end of Wyld Magic.

Appearance
Kandrina is described as having a pale complexion, with light blue eyes and blonde hair. Her hair is long at the beginning of the series, but in Devil's Moon it is mentioned that she has cut her hair short over the summer. She seems to have a varied wardrobe, sometimes described as wearing a dress and other times a shirt and trousers. A visualisation from The Sims 3 (game) was posted along with a character profile on the author's blog on December 15th, 2015.

During a duel in Beyond the Serpent Hills, Kandrina is injured, leaving four thin scars across her neck and shoulder.

Backstory
She was very close to her brother Perlak during their childhood, and spent much of her time with him. As a result of her pale colouring, the prevailing superstitions in her home town of Manak meant that she was often called Demon spawn and shunned by those from devout families. On her first and only day at a temple-run school, three unnamed boys in Perlak's class targeted her in a verbal and physical assault, one permitted by the acolyte in charge of them, which prompted her mother Meradina to immediately pull her out and seek a private tutor.
