Lady Kalissa Hartwall

Summary

Lady Kalissa Hartwall is a regional noble and military authority who has fought on the front lines and commanded forces connected to Hartwall, Goldenswell, Highden, and the wider anti-giant war. She was targeted by a magical poison or curse during the Lady Thorpe impersonation crisis, later transformed into a dragon, and is also identified as Kaylara. Kalissa is Eliana’s sister; both are children of Lady Evalina Hartwall and the white dragon Icefang. Unlike Eliana, Kalissa accepted the spells imposed on the sisters, while Icefang rescued her and then fell into slumber. Her recovered memories of Icefang, Peridita, gold dragons, and her mother’s imprisonment continue to complicate her political and military choices.
