Main Characters

Katsa*- She is a Graceling, which means she has powers. This means she has a Grace, which is an extroadinary talent. Some have infinitely powerful Graces, or they could be utterly useless. Since her parents have died, she came to live with her cousin and uncle. Katsa worked for her uncle, Randa, a king of the Middluns.(Look to map for reference) She would take care of any "dirty work" for Randa, like if someone takes too much land than he is supposed to, she is supposed to injure him. Katsa has started what is called the Council, which acts in the service in justice.
Greenling* (Po)- People call him Po, like the trees in Lienid (map) that have gold and silver leaves, because he has one gold and one silver eye. He is a Graceling, like Katsa. He is Graced with combat fighting.
Randa- He is the King of the Middluns. Katsa is his niece, and he orders her to punish those who defy him.
Raffin*- He is Katsa's cousin, and is like a brother to her. He is also Randa's son. Raffin has an interest in medicines and spends most of his time in his room with his assistant, Bann.
Helda- Katsa's maid who helps take care of her. Acts a little like a mother.
Giddon*- An underlord of the Middluns. He helps Katsa with the missions the king gives her.
