Student Lin is a member of the Two Rivers School. Lin has been in Two Rivers for "a few years", saying that Master Li took her in "when no one else would". She was sent there by her family because they thought school would make her more like the "delicate flower" that they had wanted. However, she says that not many of the skills she has learned at Two Rivers require her to be delicate. She does not intend to return home when she has finished her training, but is not sure exactly what she will do — she says that if she "can stomach the books", she could become a scholar, and expresses a desire to see the Imperial City at least once.
