Tedoro

Tedoro was a part-goblin foundling who lived at the Cemchelarna School for Foundling Girls.

Appearance
When Thara Celehar first met her, Tedoro was maybe 16 years or older, and wore the school uniform of "an unbleached linen pinafore over a long-sleeved gray dress".

After she was murdered, she was found with a token from the Pilgrimage of Stairs: “a tightly braided loop of ribbon with a disc of polished and faceted clear quartz hanging from it.”

Personality
Tedoro was a bully to other girls at the school, pressuring them into the abusive scheme of Pavalo Temin's. She also hated the school, and wouldn't have stayed given the opportunity.

Life
Tedoro was a foundling who lived at Pavalo's school. Pavalo and her lover, Anvina Renthalar, concocted a scheme wherein they took pornographic photos of the foundlings to sell for their own gain, and to use as blackmail in case the girls ever dared to speak out about it. Tedoro was one of the victims. Tedoro began to bully the other foundlings into participating. Pavalo and her conspirators used Tedoro as an errand runner, and didn't even make her pose for photos, as they knew they didn't have to worry about her.

At some point Tedoro possibly went on the Pilgrimage of Stairs or the Unfinished Pilgrimage for Cstheio Czireizhasan in Ezho, or knew someone who had.

Min Orbelin encouraged Tedoro "to stay at the school as a teacher when she graduated."

When Thara came to visit the school during his investigation into the murder of Tomilo Ulzhavel, Tedoro slipped him a note asking for help. Tedoro also said aloud that since she would be free from the school in a matter of weeks, once she was free, she would go to a judicial Witness. Someone else told Pavalo, and Pavalo had Horthena Renthalar kill her. Subpraeceptor Mobrasar and his chapter of the Vigilant Brotherhood recovered Tedoro's body, and Mobrasar requested Thara's help to Witness for the body to see if it was suicide. When Thara discovered her identity, Mobrasar went on to his own search to see if she had any relatives who could request a Witnessing, and found none. Pavalo tried to have the funeral completed quickly, but Iäna Pel-Thenhior requested a Witnessing for Tedoro after hearing the tale from Thara. Thara and Velhiro went to the school to question the students and teachers, and only learned a little about Tedoro.

After Tedoro's funeral, when Thara and Velhiro questioned the foundlings again, Sukelo was the only one who would admit to being Tedoro's friend, and talked a bit about the work Tedoro did for the conspirators, and how the blackmail scheme worked. After Pavalo's death, and the confessions of her co-conspirators, the school was shut down and the remaining foundlings sent on to hopefully better lives.
