A young ardent and scholar, Rushu contributes her sharp curiosity to the work at the tower, from studying schematics to offering insights into colors and artifabrian methods. Her thoughts can wander from difficult problems to practical matters, and she is judged a poor choice for mathematical assignments despite her intelligence. When the laboratory is destroyed, she is found examining the damage; later, she sits with her head bowed, plainly overcome with tears. The book leaves her an earnest, gifted scholar whose intellectual fascination cannot shield her from the emotional cost of events around her.
Description
Rushu is a pretty young woman, though the book does not specify her height, build, skin tone, hair, or eye color. She wears the modest clothing of an ardent and is commonly associated with a notebook, schematics, or the tools of scholarly work. Her manner is attentive but often absentminded, as if her thoughts have slipped ahead to another question. At times her composed scholarly air gives way to visible vulnerability.
