Brightness Litima is a senior clerk whose position gives her greater authority than Danlan in the clerical hierarchy. She appears in a violet silk gown with yellow trim, carrying herself with the ease of rank. When a spanreed communication arrives, she is present as part of the machinery of communication and administration. The text gives little of her private life, but her status and composed professionalism define her role.
