Irilta is a familiar presence around the Phoenix Inn and the city's streets, drinking with Meese and moving through the rooftops at her side. Her rough humor gives way to a more watchful, practical manner as she navigates the city. By the end, she is remembered as someone Crokus might seek out if trouble comes.
Description
Irilta is described as rough-looking, though the text gives no specific details of her height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, or facial features. Her expression is vivid: she grins while swinging a boy upside down, and elsewhere scowls and nods with brisk purpose. She carries her own tankard at the Phoenix Inn; no particular clothing or accessories are described.
