Cressida Vane enters the story as a formidable noblewoman whose certainty in her own authority makes her dangerously overconfident. Her confrontation with Jason ends in a violent defeat, and she is left with little power over what follows. Later, she is remembered in connection with the Vane family’s fortunes and remains a figure known to Danielle Geller.
