Lady Patience

Character from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb

Chivalry's eccentric widow — a scattered, brilliant woman who defied every expectation by defending Buckkeep when the warriors couldn't, armed with nothing but sheer stubbornness and an army of gardeners.

Also known as: Lady Patience, Patience
