Nether first appears in Deadhouse Gates as a young Wickan girl of nine or ten, marked by her dark skin, bristly hair, and liquid black eyes, riding alongside the Wickan warhost during the Chain of Dogs. Her slight frame and child's posture belie the resilience she demonstrates amid the brutal march across the Seven Cities. Across the series, she evolves from a vulnerable child survivor into a formidable Wickan witch whose power and presence grow with each subsequent appearance, embodying the Wickan people's enduring spirit and mystical traditions.
