–Coral, Requiem |
In Requiem, Coral is rescued by the group Lena is traveling within the Wilds.
Coral has vivid green eyes and soft, luminous-looking skin. More than once, Lena describes Coral as beautiful. Coral's original name is unknown, but she is given the name "Coral" because of her natural beauty.
Her Nan was killed in the Wilds. Her grandfather was a priest of one of the old religions, and was killed after refusing to convert to the New Order. Her aunt was convicted as a sympathizer, causing her whole family to be blacklisted so they could not be paired or get jobs.
During Requiem, Alex forms a relationship with Coral, which causes tension between Lena and her. Lena and Coral soon become mild friends after being forced to work together.
After a fight with Julian, Alex runs away, abandoning the group, and Coral refuses to speak for days. Finally, Lena approaches her and apologizes for her loss. Coral admits that it is not Alex's loss that has made her quiet, while also revealing that Alex still loves Lena. This interaction is significant because it later results in Lena admitting to herself that she still loves Alex.
