  Naimes — a scholar, slight of build, young, with
  scarcely a wisp of beard yet on his chin. Or, under-
  neath the clothes and bandages, a young woman
  determined to make her way despite society around
  her. She has an obsessive determination to prove
  herself as a scholar in her own right. (An easy path
  would have been to enter a nunnery, but she never
  met that opportunity.)
  Isabelle, as she was christened, was the last in a large
  family, mostly boys, and some years younger than
  the others. Her mother died when she was 8, and
  though her father was moderately wealthy he was
  too busy to pay detailed attention to his family,
  which allowed Isabelle to slip away from home and
  (in clothing stolen from her brothers) take a place at
  the cathedral school. The teachers approved of  their
  bright lad, quick with answers… little knowing “his”
  secret. 
  Her father disciplined her a few times, but assumed
  she would learn and grow out of it. By the time she
  was a young woman, her ways growing excessive
  even for home, she fled with a sum of money, and
  made her way to Paris. There she managed to join
  the University, funding herself by teaching mer-
  chants offspring to read, but before she finished her
  studies she was discovered and forced to flee again.
  Since then she has sought employ as tutor to nobles
  and their offspring, but has become increasingly cau-
  tious about discovery — choosing flight first when
  she senses she might be unmasked. As such, she has
  managed to acquire some genuine letters of reference
  to bring to new employment. 
  She recently arrived at the Covenant, not realising
  who or what they represent, seeking her sort of
  employment. They have taken her in and she is find-
  ing a special place, outside the normal bounds of
  Medieval Society, a place where the genuinely odd
  can find freedom to be themselves.
