Hearth Lady

The Hearth Lady is a being who is able to manifest from hearths and is a friend to all children.

Story
One night, after Usumgallu falls asleep while crafting crossbows, the Hearth Lady manifests from the hearth of their family cottage. She finds herself intrigued by the godliness Usumgallu emanates, and the reminiscence of such to a god she knows well. As a friend to all children, she places Usumgallu, Pan, and Fwawa under a covering for warmth.

The Hearth Lady appears again in chapter 6 as Usumgallu is grinding herbs, but is repulsed when an explosion occurs from the failed medicinal mixture.
