**Lirit Mistrikor** is a teenage student who lives on Station Ayong Primary. She appears in Revenant Gun.

## Appearance and Personality

Mistrikor is a gangly child with tanned skin and a shaved head, barely into adolescence. She wears mauve robes with frayed hems. Fluent in Machine Universal, she is argumentative, stubborn, and emotional.

## History

Mistrikor lives in a closet-like compartment in an area of the station whose walls are graffitied with scratched pictures of animals wielding gardening tools. Her furnishings include a clothes chest; a knee-level table with a meditation focus shaped like a kneeling wolf; and a rolled-up quilted blanket and pillow. She is in school studying for the Rahal entrance exams, and her grandparents are responsible for her. While ridiculing the Rahal exam requirements and "ridiculous" regulations, she believed that joining the faction was the only way to change its laws.

After unwisely arguing in class against the judgment of magistrate-errant who overturned a ruling that had declared a local observance lawful, Mistrikor was set an assignment to write a paper while fasting. She hated the assignment, but while fretting that it would be overdue if not finished that night, she returned to her room to find a fugitive Nirai servitor, Hemiola, hiding there. After exchanging introductions, Mistrikor explained her situation and began to cry, slowly calming as Hemolia hummed comfortingly.

When a catform servitor entered to take Hemolia to mediation and remind Mistrikor to work on her paper, Mistrikor accompanied them to the servitor mediation chamber instead. She introduced herself to Ajewen Cheris and after arguing the educational utility of being allowed to watch the mediation proceedings between Cheris and Hemolia in order to advance her goal of becoming a liaison between humans and servitors, she was permitted to stay on condition of returning to her exam preparations afterward. Though hungry from fasting, she stayed.

After a discussion with the catform servitor, she questioned Hemolia's ignorance of Cheris's past, taking the request to be called "Cheris" a sign that Cheris hadn't "left everyone behind" when she broke the calendar. Seeing Hemolia's distress at the news about the calendar, Mistrikor questioned it about its past at Tefos Enclave and learning that Hexarch Nirai Kujen had never brought any Vidona there. Without waiting for permission, she offered information, new to Hemolia, on the nature of remembrances and how the high calendar had worked for ordinary people.

## Trivia

* Mistrikor will appear as "The Scholar" in Hexarchate Tarot. The card stands for meditation and pursuit of knowledge; reversed, it evokes frivolity.
