 * She is mentioned again by Fetter as he recalls when he first met her. He remembers that she helped him, nursed him back to health, and risked her own life numerous times to bring him his son, Shackle. He thinks that no one is going to look after him, but remembers that Alifair had, and that was all that mattered.


 * As Fetter is recalling events to his new master, Castion, he lies and tells him that a she-cat named Alifair helped him kill his son, knowing nothing of Castion's orders. Later, Fetter thinks to himself that he must repay her kindness as Castion tears him apart. He imagines her as he last saw her, young and beautiful and kind. As he draws his last breaths, he tells Castion that he'll never be able to crush her memory, that she'll always be one step behind him, and that he can never escape.
