Brimbell

Brimbell Birchbark, known as "Brim" to friends and relations, was a plucky and cheeky squirrelmaid. She was Bough's cousin, and married Redfern the Swift of Ashen Isle. During her duel with Ninn on Castletop, she was stabbed from behind by the traitor Brunky and died soon after.

She received a sea-burial ceremony at Shallowcove, in which her friend and close fighting companion, Doora the otter-maid, pushed her funeral boat out into the Quick, where it was carried away on the main current to the Sea.
