The person
Avel campaigns for the Thorn testimony to be heard outside the court. She distrusts any process that lets the regent decide when evidence becomes convenient. Her own childhood memory surfaced in a cut root, although she has never visited the chamber. She has stopped giving speeches long enough to ask what memory is being mistaken for.
Place in the family

Lin represents families contesting the legal disappearance of their relatives.
Tavia opened the Thorn Fortress to witnesses after hearing the child’s memory herself.
