Nest Freemark (born January 8, 1983, dies July 29, 2062) is a fictional character from the Word/Void trilogy of novels by Terry Brooks, written as a prequel series to his Shannara novels. Nest is the child of an unnamed demon and a human named Caitlyn Anne Freemark. Her mother died in mysterious circumstances soon after Nest's birth, and she was raised by her maternal grandparents Robert (called Old Bob) and Evelyn Freemark. Like many of her woman ancestors, Nest has been gifted by the Word with the ability to use magic. She is able to see the conflict between the Word and the Void in the form of "feeders" and other magical creatures. She has offensive magic that can knock down an opponent if she locks eyes with them. She uses this magic to help a sylvan named Pick tend a park. She also is custodian of the ghost-wolf Wraith, who appears out of thin air to protect Nest when needed. Nest has crossed paths with Knight of the Word John Ross three times. In all three of those times, their lives were changed forever.
[edit] Running
Nest enjoys running and has won many prizes in The Olympic Games. She was suspected of possible drug usage during the Olymipcs after being injured yet still winning the race, however this was due to her magic and was cleared of the charges, despite this she stopped competing in Olymipic events. Running is not her defining characteristic; the biggest part of her is loyalty to The Word.
