The heroine of the romantasy series Engard by Freya Lojord.

At eighteen, Eira is intelligent, resourceful and stronger than her small stature suggests, though she often doubts her own abilities. More comfortable climbing trees, exploring forests or working with her hands than worrying about what others think, she is empathetic but blunt and impulsive, often speaking her mind before considering the consequences.
