An aged but spry weaver, she teaches Taran to weave and helps him make his own new cloak.

When Gurgi, Taran's follower, complains that weaving is woman's work she says "I've heard men complain of doing woman's work, and women complain of doing man's work, but I've never heard the work complain of who did it, so long as it got done!"
