Several of our main characters in the Maradaine Saga have Kelliracqui her

Quotes by Marshall Ryan Maresca (?)

“Yes, Asti is very cautious and terrified about anything and everyone,” Raych said. “It’s one of his most endearing qualities, that he balances his absurd need to do stupid things with a meticulous care borne out of the overwhelming fear that something might go wrong.”
― Marshall Ryan Maresca, The Fenmere Job
