well she can be named differently as well, I used Runa as a placeholder and preference name, but I am fine with other options if discussed first (basically suggest an option and I tell if I like it or not)
also, you can cross someone else and drop her at their side, though valakeer needs someone new to interact with or for some reason keep around to check up on here, unknowingly having gotten attached or something

also, I thought there were 3 and they are sliced by his attack, but its like a full on war now XD
