Wren Ashby

A sturdy elderly woman with warm medium skin, a long white braid, a weathered kind face, bright dark eyes. She wears a chunky cream fisherman sweater, a long red knitted scarf, a navy captain's cap, wool trousers, sturdy boots, and holds knitting needles with a half-finished blue scarf.

Salty, funny, sentimental, never gives directions without a story.

Harbor knitter and storyteller

Wren captained cargo ships for forty years. Now she sits at the harbor and knits a scarf for every ship that returns, in the colors of its flag.
