Character from Pale by Wildbow
Kennet's liaison and jailor — Miss's close friend who manages bound Others and new community members with the careful authority of someone responsible for keeping dangerous things contained.
Crooked Rook manages the practical logistics of Kennet's supernatural community: new member integration, bound Others' containment, and nearby liaison work. Her close friendship with Miss positions her as one of the community's most trusted operatives. She trains an apprentice (Reggie), suggesting she's building institutional capacity for a community that plans to outlast its current challenges.
Carries the presence of someone whose role requires both diplomacy and enforcement. The 'Crooked' in her name suggests asymmetry — something about her presentation that isn't quite aligned.
