Deirdre
Deirdre is a lady's maid at Kilinaire. She looks after Isobel during her time there.
“Good afternoon.” Ena rested a paw on the fox’s shoulder. “This is Deirdre. She’ll attend to your needs while you’re our guest. She’s a bit shy. She’s never met a human. But she’s absolutely magic with clothes and hair.”
“Pleased to meet you, my lady.” The foxy lady’s maid bobbed her head in greeting.
Deirdre met me down there to fix my hair. She proved to be a slim, green, waist-high faerie with leaves growing through her long hair. The former fox tutted over the bird’s nest I’d made of my hair. Her long, twig-like fingers plucked out hairpins and untangled curls matted with glitter and dirt.
Introduction to Deirdre in the books
I heard the rattle of a doorknob, and the bottom half of my bedroom door swung open to reveal Ena. The raccoon was sitting neatly on her haunches beside the little fox from the kitchen.“Good afternoon.” Ena rested a paw on the fox’s shoulder. “This is Deirdre. She’ll attend to your needs while you’re our guest. She’s a bit shy. She’s never met a human. But she’s absolutely magic with clothes and hair.”
“Pleased to meet you, my lady.” The foxy lady’s maid bobbed her head in greeting.
