FitzChivalry Farseer's unexpected daughter, born small and strange in ways that mark her as different from her earliest days. Bee's perspective on the world is among the most distinctive in the Elderlings sequence - her perception operates differently from other characters, her understanding of events around her is simultaneously more limited and more profound than those events' participants realise, and her voice gives the Fitz and the Fool trilogy a second centre of gravity that gradually becomes as important as Fitz's own. Her arc across the trilogy is one of Hobb's most sustained examinations of what it means to survive.
