Maeve, in turn, was raised as a slave, but managed to escape being marked. She has golden hair and skin, with the deep blue eyes of her father. She is able to tell a person's nature by touching them, and her mother tells her where to find the Dreamwen Stone before she dies. She also had a lovely singing voice.
