Kavax's dutiful, rule-bound daughter, a dreamy-eyed Telemanus medic who serves as her father's conscience of protocol.
Xana au Telemanus is a daughter of Kavax, a plain-faced Gold in her early forties who serves as a medic and her father's practical anchor. When Lyria begs to be taken off Mars, Xana refuses on the letter of the Senate's immigration regulations—insisting the system must be obeyed and warning that taking one girl would set an impossible precedent—until her father, spurred by Sophocles's 'blessing,' overrules her and adds Lyria to the registry as a house valet. Believing her duty is 'to protect everyone from themselves,' she yields to Kavax with weary affection.
A tall, plain-faced Gold woman in her early forties with dreamy, distant eyes, clad in cloth rather than metal beneath a beautiful storm-cloud-colored cloak, carrying a large medical datapad.
Kavax's daughter and household medic; the rule-minded foil to her impulsive, magnanimous father.
