an orphan or runaway(she'll never say which) taken into the servant's wing. on the outside she completes menial chores dutifully - all the while ferreting secrets and messages between rogue factions gearing up to overthrow the court. shes trained in tells, how to spot a lie, and how to disappear in exchange for her given tasks.
Called Mouse or Squeaker for her selective mutism, she's only beginning to understand that once you're in the court of lies, you never get out.
