Never

==Overview==
Never is a member of the Widerain Wardens, though her true calling was in service to the Minthunt Combine who are at odds with the Wardens. She acts as something as a spy infiltrating the depths of Widerain's most important tactical unit in order to relay important information to Tribute and the Grajita Combine.
==Appearance and Personality==
Never is a young woman of fair skin and a light build, who is a little shorter than average. She has jet black hair like the rest of her family, tied in a rather lengthy and thick ponytail. Her face is somewhat rounded, with wide green eyes. She has a beauty mark on the left side of her chin, and she often wears a rather large gem earring on that same side. She typically wears a simple black and grey collared tunic with faded green pants.
She has a rather fleeting presence, apparently, as Monstrous noted she barely noticed Never, despite sitting in the middle of the room and clearly listening to her.
Never is an idealist and a dreamer, choosing to stay optimistic about things. Despite her quiet and obedient exterior, she is highly calculated, able to fool even the most dedicated and trained Wardens into thinking she is on their side. Her dream is to work for the Minthunt Combine, and perhaps even discover a Mint Garden on her own someday. Her unique position as sister to the Warden's leader Rust, and daughter to the King of Widerain makes her invaluable as an insider for the Combine.
==Story==
As a young girl, overhearing her father talking about the Mint Gardens always captured her imagination, and she had an endless curiosity about their origins, and mysteries. As she grew, she realized that the Gardens were only viewed by her father and brother as tools to be used for empire expansion, which she had no interest in.
When she heard about the Minthunt Combine taking residence in nearby Grajita, she began to learn how the Combine was buried in history as one of the only institutions to ever carry out formal expeditions for the Mint Gardens. After waiting some time, a few years after Tribute's request for access to Widerain's Garden, Never decided to sneak out of the city and meet with the curious Combine. She revealed her unique status as a Widerain royal, and the existence of the Widerain Wardens monitoring them, on behalf of the King's increasing obsession with Catalya. Never decided to infiltrate the Wardens on behalf of the Combine, to ensure any Mint Gardens discovered wouldn't also be known by the Wardens.
Seeing the King's primary focus shifted to the Mint Gardens, Never knew that her relationship with the Combine would be jeopardized should the Wardens discover a Garden before they. Thus, she secretly went to the Warden's newest recruit Vacant and pleaded with him to aid her in undermining the Warden's efforts from within. He eventually agreed.
Never privately relayed to Tribute the Warden's investigations of the soldiers killed outside of Widerain's Mint Garden. She also warned Tribute that the Wardens viewed the Combine as their top suspect, as Device was the last one to enter the Garden moments before the bodies were discovered. She herself suspected that Device was involved in the soldier's deaths until Vacant informed her that no Minthunter had even entered the Garden, according to the Pulsekaw within it. She concluded along with Vacant that the only reason the Minthunter wouldn't have entered the Garden after ten years of waiting would be because they had discovered another.
Wondering why Never wasn't notified of this, she began thinking the Combine was either in trouble, or keeping something from her. She snuck into her family's royal Torch Field to find the espionage Pulse she had been told of, and lifted the Easkym to instruct Vacant how to use it on the first Minthunter he encountered. Since she demonstrated it on a nearby Stag, she was unaware of the mind-altering effects it would impose on a regular Kaw. Vacant and Idea were soon sent to confront the Combine about Device's potential involvement in the four soldier's deaths. This was the perfect time to investigate on Never's behalf as well.
Vacant and Idea encountered Fluster on her way to deliver a note to Never with details on the Garden they had been informed of. Since they finally knew its location from Device as he stumbled back to the Combine, they could at last inform Never on its location, to try and divert the Warden's attention elsewhere. However, as Vacant used Easkym on the girl as instructed, she dropped her note, and Idea intercepted it. The note indicated that there was an informant within the Wardens, and detailed the location of the Mint Garden they had learned about from Eiveah. This raised suspicions within the Wardens, and allowed Monstrous to go and investigate the area indicated.
Never was present when Monstrous returned to Widerain after confirming the existence of a Mint Garden atop the Grajita Mountains. She sat quietly absorbing the information, but did inquire about the fate of the Pulsekaw who should have inhabited the Garden. She, along with all of the other Wardens, left together to inform the King about the erased Garden atop the mountains.
As suspicions rose within the Wardens, Never felt the pressure and decided to flee the Wardens along with Vacant. Before leaving, Vacant saw through Fluster's eyes, learning about another Mint Garden deep in the northern Gryusch Wilds, near the ruins of Jiarum.
