Steris
"If you do find the murderer, steer me in her direction. I shall endeavor to fascinate her with details of our house finances. With luck, she’ll fall asleep in her drink and drown, and I shall have my first kill"
Steris Harms is the daughter of Lord Jackstom Harms and the half-sister of Marasi Colms as well as the fiancee and eventual wife of High Lord Waxillium. Steris often states that she does not fit in well with other people, and she makes up for this by relentlessly memorizing social norms and relevant facts about Scadrian society and by creating exhaustive lists of contingencies for any and every possible occasion. She is on the autism spectrum.
