Cooking, cleaning, repairing clothing and sails, and bending her wise eye toward the weather, she nurtures with a firm hand. She doesn't hesitate to scold, but she isn't shrewish. She has never spoken of her own family, though most assume that they were taken as slaves, considering the way she anxiously watches every slave the ''River Sparrow'' frees, as though looking for someone.

However, he also dislikes the way Winter Duty pushes those expectations on her; he believes that she cannot be bullied into her fate, but must come upon it in her own way.

Though she was initially quite jealous of Foam Dancer when they first met because of River Sword's attention, she has since grown to accept that not only would Foam Dancer never think of betraying her trust, but River Sword's affection for the young Exalt is purely brotherly.

Frog is probably the only one of the crew who doesn't fully believe that Foam Dancer is the Maiden of Rivers (at least, he claims not to). According to him, he is simply along so he can be there when it is proven that she isn't. He doesn't discount the good she is doing, however - he respects her for that, and thinks she is terribly brave. She just shouldn't bother with all that Maiden of Rivers nonsense. | ||
