She was magically hidden in this storeroom days ago by her nurse, [[Pirisi]], who was then murdered moments later by a mob bent on destroying everything infected by the fierce plague that killed Sandry's parents. Sandry, even though she knows there is no chance of anybody finding her, is concerned about the flickering lamp because she is afraid of going crazy in the darkness. Unknowingly doing her first piece of magic, Sandry traps the remaining light in a simple braid. The powerful seer Niklaren Goldeye finds and rescues her.

She floats on the water for days, surviving only because she finds a ''[[Trader#Terminology|suraku]]''- a survival box full of food and water from the ship - which she unknowingly calls to her with the help of her magic. Again it is Niklaren Goldeye who finds and saves the girl. He brings her to the [[Trader Council]] which decides Daja's fate. Because Daja is the only survivor of her family, the declare her ''[[trangshi]]'' or outcast- the worst sort of bad luck. As ''trangshi'', she is forbidden to speak, touch, or write to other Traders. This means Daja hasn't just lost her family but also any standing with her people. Niko is outraged at the council's decision and conducts her to Winding Circle. |

His mother died when he was young; he was then taken in by the Thief Lord, the leader of the gang Lightning. Each time Roach was caught at stealing and arrested, an "X" was tattooed onto the web of skin between his thumb and forefinger. This happened twice, until he is caught a third time. As Roach is being sentenced to the docks, Niko stops the judge and convinces him to be allowed to take Roach to Winding Circle. Roach also gets to pick a new name for himself; he chooses Briar Moss because of his curiosity and experience with plants, which always seem to flourish around him. |

Never staying long in one house, she never had a real family. Out of relatives, she is finally brought to [[Stone Circle|Stone Circle Temple]] by her parents and left there, where she wreaks more havoc still. The temple's dedicate superior, [[Wrenswing]], pleads with Niko to take her to Winding Circle. At first he hesitates because he is on important errands these days.

Tris prefers to read over the company of the other girls and wreaks havoc through weather when girls make fun of her or even when the dedicates who run the dormitories tell her what to do.
