History
In the years before the novels, Satrine was a street kid in Inemar. She was abandoned by her mother, Berana, and survived a harsh existence. Known as "Tricky Trini," she had only one real friend in those days, Lannie Coar.

Fortunately for Satrine, her red ("Waishen") hair and other physical appearance looked quite similar to a recently deceased minor noble from Waisholm, Quia Alia Rhythyn. Satrine was recruited by Druth Intelligence, and quickly trained as a double, and was sent to Waisholm under that alias. Major Grieson was her handler, and remains her primary contact within the agency. She played a role advancing Druth interests during a succession contest. When that concluded, Satrine was recalled to Druthal, where she met Loren Rainey. They quickly fell in love, married, and shortly thereafter, Rian was born, followed by Caribet.

Loren's Constable salary was sufficient to allow Satrine to maintain a comfortable home at 14 Beltner Street in the High River neighborhood of North Maradaine, raising the girls, until he was attacked and nearly killed. To maintain her family's security, and without support from other institutions, Satrine quickly realized she needed to obtain her own well-paying work, in a career that used her unique skills. She thus formulated her bold and risky plan to obtain a position as an Inspector Third Class.

She employs Missus Abernand (also her landlord) to help around the house, particularly with Loren. Their girls are teenagers.
