Viridiana Sovari, also known as Vi, is known as a wetboy in Midcyru. The term is applied inaccurately, however, because a Wetboy is capable of using the Talent without speaking and of feats that a Maja (the accurate term for Vi's powers) cannot replicate such as becoming invisible. In Shadow's Edge Sister Ariel tells her that because she needs to speak to use her Talent that makes her a maja uxtra kurrukulas, a bush mage, a wild mage and not a wetboy. She is primarily an antagonist throughout the first two books of the series, but in Shadow's Edge and Beyond the Shadows she fights alongside Kylar Stern.
