Maera Keelan

Maera Keelan is the eldest daughter of Culich Keelan and the wife of Yozef Kolsko.

Appearance
At the start of the series she was 23 years old.

Background
Maera was the elder daughter of the Hetman of the Keelan. Due to her social standing she was expected to marry to continue the clan line. Her father being appreciative towards her keen mind allowed her to advise him and consult on clan politics. However due to her strong personality and independence not typical for a woman, many suitors turned down their proposals, finding her odd.

Due to her lack of successful exploits with men, Maera began to worry over her future. When word reached her about a man named Yozef Kolsko in Abersford, that her father had been monitoring, she volunteered to investigate the matter. Maera visited Abersford and was astonished to find how much the stranger had seemingly impacted the local society and economy. She had the opportunity to meet him and was pleased to know he was more open-minded towards a woman speaking her mind. After her meeting with Yozef, she returned home to present a case for marriage with him, citing the economic benefits to the arrangement.
