Ziniän

Ziniän is a foundling living in Amalo.

Appearance
Ziniän was 15 years old in The Grief of Stones.

Personality
Ziniän was sympathetic as she supported taking Thara Celehar to a healer. She was also practical, such as when she suggested they focus on one goal at a time: getting out of the Hill of Werewolves and then moving on to their next task.

Life
Ziniän was a foundling who lived at Pavalo Temin's Cemchelarna School for Foundling Girls. 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. Ziniän was one of the victims, and followed Pavalo's orders to threaten Thara into going with Pavalo to the Hill of Werewolves, along with another foundling named Balaro. After Pavalo was killed by the revethavar, Thara re-emerged and met again with Ziniän and Balaro. The girls unknowingly dropped their knives and pressured him to go to a healer before going to the Vigilant Brotherhood, and took him to Revano Galinin for healing. They then traveled to the Vigilant Brotherhood chapterhouse in the Airmen's Quarter, and met with Azhanharad. Ziniän gave a deposition on what she knew.

Ziniän later talked to Anora Chanavar about Pavalo's school. Presumably she was sent off to a new place to live and/or work along with the other foundlings after the school was disbanded.
