Shanti

Shanti is Lorcan Furey's first donor. After he's injured from staying in the sun protecting Grace, he refuses to take blood, sending Shanti's life in disarray.

Appearance
She is described as beautiful and small. While Lorcan refuses to feed, Shanti rapidly begins aging, her body growing frail and wrinkles appearing on her face.

Personality
It's hard to get a good grasp on Shanti's personality, since as soon as she's introduced she is under a lot of stress.

Shanti is honest to a fault, very rarely being deterred from voicing her opinions. When unhappy, her viciousness knows no limits. She seems to be easily distressed and jealous. Shanti seems to be very insecure.

Background
Very little is revealed about Shanti's past before The Nocturne. She does remark that her family and the place she was born no longer exist, which could be due to the world flooding. Shanti has spent, at the very least, 14 years on the ship as Lorcan's donor, since it's known Shanti was friends with Sally. She very well could have been a thief in her past, as she remarks that she's "snatched a lot more than ribbons in [her] day".

Abilities
Shanti is adept at stealing, as seen when she nabs two ribbons from the Hall of Ribbons in Sanctuary, without anyone noticing.

Relationships
Grace Tempest: Viewing Grace as a threat, Shanti is immediately hostile towards Grace. Shanti assumes that Lorcan quit sharing with her because he wants Grace to be his new donor, something that causes intense jealousy in Shanti.

Lorcan Furey: She's very possessive of Lorcan, specifically about her role as his donor. When Lorcan stops feeding, she becomes very angry with him for the effect it has on her.
