|text=Keh is very wise and very careful, which makes up for her lack of strength. She always knows what's right, and she runs the village perfectly. She hates clutter from work like nothing else and cleans up any mess she makes, unless it's a spill. Then she makes Kesehind do it. In fact, Grand-Doe very much mislikes any liquid not in a bowl or waterskin; being in a shallow pool is enough to make her panic. She's allergic to copper and bronze; they make her break out in hives. She's too old to spar with me, but her bow-arm still aims true.}}

|text=Keh is very wise and very careful, which makes up for her lack of strength or... tact. She always knows what's right, and she runs a very tight shift.
 
She hates clutter from work like nothing else and cleans up any mess she makes--unless it's a spill, then she makes Kesehind do it. It's because Grand-Doe has a terrible fear of standing pools of water, refusing to touch them. Copper and bronze afflict her with allergy-sores and she can't touch them. She's too old to spar with me, but her bow-arm still aims true.
 
That's all I can think of.}}

Esk has a good eye for detail. She hates watervine so much that she avoids the paddies and won't eat matz without lah broth to make it taste better. Umm, she's afraid of saltbacks. She's good at foraging and terrible at crafting.

I thought it the only way to endure her departure, as well. But she is returned, and she loves me. Ayvah. I am terrified to speak to her of this, but I must.
