Flailleaf ruined her own life. It was a stupid thing, too. As a nurse, part of Flailleaf's duties are to assist the healers in the clinic, caring for patients. Flurryslip was one of those patients, recovering from an encounter with a human's hunting dog. They were both stressed and lonely, feeling isolated from their kin. It was a mistake, and they both knew that. Yet Flailleaf ended up pregnant, so she took her gift from the gods and decided she would raise the litter well as a single parent.

It turned out the gods disagreed with her decision.

Her brother blames her for what happened to his best friend. Her children struggle with the burden of partial royal privilege tarnished by family shame. She is an oathbreaker, someone who brought harm to the city. But Peacockfeather told Flurryslip to do better, and surely that applied to Flailleaf to. Still, with one of her daughters dead and the other gone to Snake's Head, it's hard to not give in.
