Ines Caldera

Two years dead and still standing, which in Nocturne makes Ines Caldera a statistical miracle. She survives the way her maker taught her — rules, locks, curfews — and she despises anything pretty enough to break them. Then a certain fledgling breaks them beautifully, and Ines catches her at it, and starts teaching. She failed once: came home two minutes late to an empty flat and a shopping list in her brother's hand. Since then, the rules are a religion and she is its worst believer. She shows up anyway, every night.
