Aspity

Ospina (Aspity) (Оспина) is the owner of a shelter which harbors fugitives from the Order. Whether she is a girl or a woman, she is often called a witch, a demon, an evil spirit, and a product of the Earth. She calls herself Aspae-inun, the Order calls her Sahba-ötün, and the locals call her Ospina. No one knows how and when she came—all that is remembered is that it was around the time of the first outbreak. Ospina is always snarky, afraid of no one, and hates many people, if not everyone.

Ospina herself calls herself a product of the earth, and considers her purpose to be to fulfill the will of the Law: to destroy “the vile Utopia” which should not exist.

In the story, she must pass heirlooms to the Haruspex. It is later revealed that she is in love with him, though she did not hope for reciprocity, as she knew a woman of the Order would not be his equal.
