Southern Boll Hold Harper Hall

Pona was a paying student at Harper Hall during the Ninth Pass. She was originally from Southern Boll Hold and was the granddaughter of Lord Holder Sangel.

History[]

Since she was not a very apt musician, Pona attended Harper Hall mainly to gain the kind of education that would make it easier for her grandfather to find her a husband. She paid especially close attention to Lord Groghe's sons and fosterlings.

Pona didn't like Menolly from the start and became jealous of Menolly's musical ability and fire lizards. Pona was sent home after she created an incident with Menolly, Audiva, and several others at the Fort Hold Gather.

Personality and traits[]

Pona was rank happy and a flirt and willing to use both to her advantage. She saw nothing wrong with lying about those of perceived lower rank and felt her perceived higher rank would protect her from the consequences of her actions.
