Notes

Daughter of Caddell ap Ioan, sister to to Bradán and Marcus. She has fully embraced her warrior heritage and defends the clan holdings as well as any man. She refuses to wed any but a warrior who can best her own skill. When she was a child, a Gesa was placed on her that she would only die when struck by the tusk of a boar. As a result, she has an aversion to anything having to do with boars. She gets chills down her spine when near the mounted boar head in the clan hall and has no idea why. She does not like boar hunting, even though she is quite good with a spear.

Meaning of name: Variation on Medb "she who makes men drunk".
