Pirra

Pirra is Keftian girl who first meets with Hylas in the Outsiders, the first book. It is revealed in the third book that her real name is Piràkara. She is the daughter of the High Priestess Yassassara and very rich, although it’s revealed that she wasn’t happy being rich since she wasn’t allowed freedom. Her favourite animal is a falcon, and in the third book she actually befriends one, naming it Echo. Pirra is also seen as clever, since she is fluent in three languages, making her and Hylas’s journeys a lot easier: she can speak Keftian, Akean and Egyptian. In the first book, she is rendered as silly and useless by Hylas, but his opinion of her increases throughout the books. They are good friends and her best and main qualities are that she doesn’t give up easily, is very brave, although it is said that she allows grief and feelings to get in the way. She has strong feelings for those she loves, and is determined to show everyone that she can be just as strong as any man. At the end of the series, Hylas invites her to live with him as “his girl” and she agrees.
