Hy

Hyacynth, better known as Hy, was a young Mage serving Kellanved and Dancer when they were forming the Malazan Empire from their headquarters in Malaz City. She was a pale, delicately featured redhead with a thin chest who gnawed at her nails.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 9, US HC p.143 She was an educated woman from a more sophisticated background than the average Malazan pirate, who considered most of her fellow soldiers "gauche rubes" to be avoided. Nedurian suspected she was mortified by her full name and hence went by "Hy". She wore sandals.
==In Kellanved's Reach==
As the Malazan fleet made its way to invade the Napan Isles, Nedurian inspected the troops accompanying him aboard the Insufferable. He found one squad without its mage, and upon questioning, one of the soldiers revealed that Hy thought herself too good to mix with her compatriots and had climbed into the ship's rigging. Nedurian found her atop the mizzen mast where he attempted to convince her to stop pouting. He warned that she knew what she had signed up for and it was only natural that the recruits--fresh off the farm or fishing boat--were crude, lewd, and ignorant. Once they saw action, it would change everything. As a veteran, he had seen it a thousand times, and similar people had proved to be among the best he had ever known.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 9, US HC p.142-143
