Meet Ryder.
She's a very important little street rat! Kival runs into her on his first trip to Hossburg, giving her a bit of coin and all the food he had on him. He later runs into her again, doing the same thing, but this time promising to help take care of her. After Edra joins the Wardens, she helps Kival get her into a school so she has a warm place to live.
Ryder hates it. lol.
