Lisabet

Lisabet Turnsen is an Ice Wolf and the daughter of Sigrid. She appears in all three books in the trilogy.

Appearance
Lisabet has pale skin and short, curly black hair. Most of her face is covered in freckles.

In her wolf form, Lisabet appears to be a small wolf with dark gray fur that is almost as black as her hair when in human form.

Personality
Lisabet is smart, independent and strong-willed, with a touch of hidden loneliness to her. She also has endless curiosity and was fascinated upon exposure to Scorch Dragon culture for the first time.

Book 1: Ice Wolves
Lisabet is one of the first Ice Wolves that Anders meets. When he transforms back into a human without any clothes, Lisabet offers him her cloak to cover himself. As they are leading Anders away to take him back to Ulfar Academy, Anders signals to Jerro to help him. Jerro then takes Lisabet's cloak, and when Jerro runs away, Lisabet chases him with Hayn and another wolf.

She's seen again when Anders joins Ulfar, assigned to show Anders around by Sigrid. Lisabet gets Anders his own cloak and amulet before showing him back to the room where he would stay with her, Viktoria and Sakarias. When the bell goes off and Anders is spooked, Lisabet reassures him that the bell is just telling them it's time for dinner.

At dinner, Lisabet helps Anders get some food before introducing him to Sakarias and Viktoria. Lisabet reveals that she grew up at Ulfar, but doesn't reveal why. She says when Anders asked if her family would have missed her if she hadn't transformed she says, "My mother would have coped." She also tells Anders when he reveals he has no family that the pack is his family now.

In the morning at breakfast, Lisabet tells Anders that they have combat class in the morning. She then explains to him how classes work and that Sigrid will be teaching them that day. She tells him that they'll be studying Scorch Dragons, too, when he asks. When combat class begins, Lisabet stretches and Anders tries to imitate her stretches before class begins. Lisabet explains that Professor Ennar is a real soldier and how Ennar has more than just ice spears in her arsenal. She leaves to run as Anders speaks with Ennar.

Lisabet is seen again in her wolf form and grins at Anders. During lunch, when Anders is upset and worrying about not being able to cast an ice spear, Anders comments that he thinks Lisabet reads his body language as she doesn't offer stories of her own failings as everyone else does, watching silently on instead.

During Military History class, Anders thinks Sigrid is mad at him or Sakarias because of Sakarias' drawing but, in reality, she's angry with Lisabet. Sigrid and Lisabet get into a argument about Scorch Dragons and whether or not the wolves should make an effort to repair their relationship with them. It ends with Sigrid kicking Lisabet out of class.

At dinner, Lisabet doesn't show up, Anders later finds her in the library reading a book that Anders describes as nearly bigger than her. When Anders hid out of sight, nearly crying, Lisabet checked on him. She tells him that she was getting another book to explain her presence in the library. When Anders tries to leave, Lisabet stops him and admits she was actually coming to check on him. Upon hearing this, Anders lies and says that he just has a headache to try and dodge her assistance, but Lisabet doesn't believe him. She offers him help with reading and tells him that if her assistance is willingly available whenever he might want it, telling him how she wants to be a teacher and that this would be good practice. Lisabet also says to him that she won't tell anyone he needs help reading if he doesn't want her to. Anders admits that he does need help reading and would like it if Lisabet would help him.

They then spend an hour working on his Military History homework before Anders askes Lisabet why she argued with Sigrid. She says that she doesn't think Sigrid is telling them everything about the dragons, explaining that if they have all these artifact there must have been a time when Dragons and Wolves got along. She says that Sigrid would rather have them believe that dragons are untrustworthy monsters rather than potential allies. She reveals that the Staff of Hadda was forged by a Scorch Dragon named Hadda, questioning why Hadda would have made it if the dragons hated the wolves.

Lisabet tells Anders that Ice Wolves designed the artifacts and Scorch Dragons forged then. She explains that artifacts are beginning to break in the absence of the dragons. She expresses her interest in the dragons and artifacts, but needs the Skraboks. When Anders askes what a Skrabok is, Lisabet shows him the giant book she'd been looking at when he came in. Lisabet reads the content to him as they go through the book together. She shows him a bunch of texts in the book about many different artifacts, showing who they were designed and forged by.

She explains who Drifa is, a very talented dragonsmith whose name appears multiple times throughout the pages of the Skrabok. Lisabet also shows him that Hayn and a man named Felix are mentioned numerously as well. After going through a few more artifacts Lisabet goes to put the book away and declines when Anders offers to help her.

Lisabet and Anders continue their tutoring sessions in the evenings to help Anders learn to read. Lisabet holds back on mentioning the artifacts again during the tutoring despite Anders’ silent hopes. When Anders is trying to find an excuse to speak with Hayn, Lisabet interrupts, asking if they could help Hayn carry the Skraboks he was holding. Hayn allows them to help, handing a Skrabok to both Lisabet and Anders. Anders follows Lisabet and Hayn into his office and Anders asks him about some of the artifacts. Lisabet presses Hayn about how dragons and wolves must have gotten along at one point and mentions that the artifacts are breaking without the dragons.

Lisabet persists, attempting to explain that not all Scorch Dragons are the same, just as not all Ice Wolves are the same; but Hayn admits that he thought not all Scorch Dragons were the same, but when it mattered, they proved themself to be as cruel as one another. Lisabet and Anders are confused by this, but Hayn goes back to explain more about essence and why they can't repair the artifacts without a skilled Dragonsmith. Lisabet comments that it's not impossible to had two types of elemental blood as many people with wolf blood never manifest so it's possible someone have could have multiple elements in their blood but not manifest. Hayn responds that two elementals that have transformed would never. Hayn tells Lisabet and Anders about how Dragons refused to help them repair artifacts before going on to tell the story of his brother, Felix, and Drifa. He says that Drifa most likely killed Felix even though the two were friends. Lisabet is silent after she hears this, and is so during the rest of the time she and Anders are speaking with Hayn.
