Boyd has the open, earnest air of a young apprentice, his wide eyes betraying how much of the world he is still trying to take in. There is a tender loyalty in him, and a hint of wistfulness when he finds himself left behind.

Much younger than Ash, Boyd begins as an apprentice healer sharing a cramped room with him and Harold, often left outside the busy world of Lady Estelle’s suite. When Ash is absent, Boyd is left to manage difficult calculations and proportions, with imperfect results. He is later chosen to help tend an injured patient, and when Ash departs, Boyd’s affection shows in his parting gift: a knife with a carved handle.
Description
Boyd is a young male healer’s apprentice, much younger than Ash, with a youthful, wide-eyed expression. The text does not specify his height, build, skin tone, hair, eye color, or facial features. His clothing is not described beyond his role as an apprentice healer, and no particular colors or style are established. His earnest, slightly glum demeanor and the carved-handle knife he gives Ash are his distinguishing details.
