Starling is a dragonmarked member of House Vadalis who runs a griffon ranch on the outskirts of Passage. She normally raises only three to four grifflings at a time, and holding on to the adults until they are sold, and has been doing this without issue for decades.
In 999 YK, however, one of her juvenile griffons, Sunfeather, killed and dismembered a noble family's prize warhorse.
