Character from When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
A Runi healer in Kaan's court who discovered the truth hidden beneath Raeve's scars — and was told by a princess to keep it buried.
Agni is methodical, observant, and uncomfortably perceptive. As a Runi healer, she examines bodies with the same analytical rigor others apply to maps or ledgers. When she used dragon-fire weld to examine Raeve, she discovered a hidden facial scar beneath the visible ones — evidence of magical melding, proof that Raeve's face was deliberately altered to disguise her identity. She follows Veya's instruction to conceal this discovery from Kaan, placing her in an ethically complex position: loyalty to the princess versus duty to the king versus care for the patient. She navigates this tension with quiet professionalism, keeping her own counsel until the truth is ready to surface.
Carries herself with the steady calm of a healer — hands always clean, movements always measured. Dressed practically for her craft.
