Something abt Comfrey inspiring a culture of commitment within her crew despite her issues with commitment being almost a mortal flaw.
They marry quickly and often. They have Wind Rider tattoos, which Haunch tattooed over and Marya scratched off bc of their disillusionment with the WR organization & Comfrey. Monty spends his life in Gath fixing a mess the WRs made, and Daisuke spends the later part of his watching over Olethra because Comfrey asked.
And I dont think we talk enough about how the crew Comfrey took with her to Zood, including Haunch and Onion, kept coming back with her on her many increasingly dangerous adventures in the braid. Comfrey herself said that the crew protested against going back when she chose to U-Turn right after finding out how to return to Gath. Their second excursion was multiple years long.
Yet Comfrey's insecurity and fear led her to ruining her relationships with anyone who questioned her judgment. She had a persecution complex that led to her forsaking people who quite literally oriented their lives around her. She's a case study in closing your eyes and plugging your ears when you have to face what you're afraid of. In her case, the mirror
also she cut ties with the odans that's wild like not even the eyeless hand did that
