Nora Glassheart

Nora, also known as Nora Glassheart, is a powerful sorceress hailing from the Riverlands and a secondary protagonist of Brother, Son, Shadow. As the result of association with the failed ascendant known as the Librarian, she gained an artificial heart imbued with powerful alchemy and sorcery, at a terrible price.

She makes her appearance in Part Two of the storyline, as she is one of the first to meet and befriend a lost Tamur. She is present as his memories eventually return, and answers his call to seek the lost godhead of Handor.

Early Life
From a young age, there existed a rivalry between Nora and her sister, Arissa. Time and again, Nora was ignored in favor of her elder, more attractive sister. After a failed courtship with another young man who admitted to only using her to get closer to her sister, Nora sank into a deep depression.

Ignored and alone, and driven by a deep jealousy, she chose to kill her heart, and numb everything down so she wouldn't have to hurt like that ever again. It was a blank-faced girl that was adopted alongside Arissa by the innkeeper of the Dancing Giant.
