Tharthar appears as one of Stilgar's wives, moving with practical purpose as she spreads hangings and steps into a chamber. The book marks her through her small, dark figure, unwavering blue eyes, and the scars at her nostrils, but gives her no larger personal arc in the described passage.
Description
Tharthar is a small, dark-skinned woman with eyes described as wholly blue, which she holds in a fixed, trained gaze. Her tiny nose bears visible scars at the nostrils. She wears a black robe patterned with red figures, and her purposeful movements lend her a composed, watchful presence.
