Mist
A fen-mourner mistaken for a banshee, whose cry is grief, not death.
Mist is a unique fen-mourner introduced in Book 3 who resides at the new spring-pool dug out during that same volume. Often misidentified as a banshee due to her haunting presence, she is actually a creature of sorrow rather than an omen of doom. Her cry serves not to predict death but to express deep grief, adding a poignant layer to the farm's emotional landscape.
