Arisa

The daughter of The Falcon and friend of Weasel and Prince Edoran.

Shield of Stars
Arisa was being held by Regent Pettibone in a locked storeroom when Weasel was put in with her. Together, they escape and flee the city. Over the course of a couple weeks, they visit various villages and a seaside town. Arisa is kidnapped by palace guards, but Weasel frees her. They travel to Arisa's mother, The Falcon, who leads a band of rebels.

Weasel and Arisa lead the Falcon and the rebels back to the palace to free Justice Holis. They succeed, and in the process discover the Shield of Stars, one of the three ancient artifacts of Deorthas. They confront Regent Pettibone, whom the Falcon kills. Justice Holis becomes the regent, and the Falcon becomes the lord commander of the army and navy.

Sword of Waters
Arisa discovers that her maid, Katrin is sneaking out of the palace at night. Arisa follows her one evening and observes her going into the King's Folly, followed shortly thereafter by Master Darian, an accomplice of the deceased Regent Pettibone. Arisa returns to the tavern another day, disgused as country folk, and arranges to work as a cleaner occassionally. She returns over several weeks, and discovers that the keeper of the tavern, Master Mimms, is supporting a group involved in some conspiracy.

One evening, Arisa follows Katrin, only to come upon her murdered corpse. She enlists Weasel and Prince Edoran in identifying the murderer. Arisa also reveals her escapades to her mother, the Falcon, and Justice Holis. The tavern keepers are arrested, and Shareholder Ethgar is arrested for the murder of Katrin.

Arisa then discovers the Sword of Waters and gives it to Justice Holis. The Falcon proclaims a grand ball to celebrate the return of the sword.

Still uncertain how everything adds up, Arisa becomes suspicious of her mother. She again enlists Weasel's aid, and they break into the Falcon's office. They discover a plot to kidnap Prince Edoran, and rush to save him. She and Prince Edoran save the shield and the sword, while Weasel is kidnapped in Edoran's place.

After learning that her mother is a traitor, Arisa steals the sword and shield and sets off in an attempt to save Weasel and help her mother escape Deorthas.
