Character from Bastion by Phil Tucker
A companion wrapped in mystery — readers across three books still wish they understood her better, which may be exactly the point.
Moira is the companion the series keeps at arm's length. In a cast where everyone's trauma eventually gets its spotlight, Moira's interiority remains partially shielded — known enough to care about, unknown enough to worry about. Readers describe wanting to understand her better as an ongoing experience rather than a complaint, suggesting Tucker is managing the reveal deliberately. What's clear: she's capable, she's loyal to the group in her own way, and she carries secrets that the narrative hasn't fully unpacked. Whether those secrets are personal or political — or whether the distinction matters in a world where reincarnation makes all history personal — remains one of the series' running questions.
Carries herself with the deliberate opacity of someone who reveals information on her own schedule. Her physical presentation suggests depth without offering access.
