Squirrel

Squirrel is an Acanthus of the Guardians of the Veil. She was the last Herald of the Preston Consilium, and was the first Acanthus Provost of the Consilium of the Stone Circle, a post to which she did not seek re-election. She is a member of the Wild Hunt.

History
A keen comics fan, Squirrel chose her Shadow Name as something of an in-joke shortly after Awakening and understanding the joy of Fate magic. A Preston local, she was for some time the primary link that Consilium had with the Burnley Confederation, having been coached in womens' rugby at one time by the mage known as Catch.

Before this, however, she had already found herself leaning toward the Guardians of the Veil; when approached after her Awakening she'd found the explanations offered by the now-deceased Grimm. To her, the logical response was only too clear; pay it forward.

She joined the Guardians but disappointed Grimm by not following him into the MInisters; instead, she leapt at the chance to become part of history and entered the Wild Hunt.

Naturally friendly and permanently curious, Squirrel's delight in talking with young magi meant over the next decade that she'd become a natural choice to become Herald after the death of the prior incumbent, one of those now laid at the feet of Seventh.
