Atarah's Links
Atarah is like a brother to her, he has reminded/retaught her of things she has long forgotten (purposely erased it). Though Atarah is very sociable and is pretty much the life of the party, he will drop anything if needed. VakarÄ— often spends her time with him in silence with his warmth and comforting presence.
At the beginning, Atarah hadn't the best opinion of Nira. Himself, being loud, brash and energetic didn't understand Nira's quiet and non judgmental nature. It was only after Atarah suffered an injury and was rescued and cared for by Nira that he began to see and understand her better.
