Character from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
A Silver skin healer whose tongue was cut out by Elara for knowing too much — silenced for years, she endured and eventually married the man she'd loved since childhood.
Sara Skonos is a skin healer — she can mend flesh and bone through touch. Elara Merandus had her tongue cut out to prevent her from revealing the truth about Coriane's death. Sara spent years silenced, her testimony trapped behind a mutilation that no other healer could repair because Elara forbade it. Her relationship with Julian Jacos spans the entire series in subtext — childhood sweethearts separated by court politics and Elara's cruelty, reunited after the war. They married. The quiet endurance of their love, surviving decades of enforced silence, is one of the series' most understated romances.
A Silver woman with the composed bearing of a healer — someone whose hands are more important than her words, which is fortunate given that Elara took her words away.
