show up (in both the narrative and the flashbacks) precisely when she's most
needed, every time she's needed, and does the exact minimal amount required
to move Vlad along.  Now who else do we know who's like that?

But to the left, as someone points out, there is a bit in Taltos (and maybe
also in Jhereg) where she shows up as Kiera briefly, and then is seen within
the same day at home as Sethra, claiming she's unable to leave Dzur
Mountain.

By the way, when Vlad realizes that it's not just Verra manipulating his
life, but Verra + Sethra, presumably working together, I wonder how he'll
react?
