Her mother had tried to kill her once, when she was very young. She vaguely remembered the event. Reen had saved her.
...Ironic time to make a note on that. I swear I'm not reading ahead, guys. But my feelings on Reen are now much more conflicted. And I have formed an opinion about Vin's mother as well. Not that I think she's automatically 100% evil, just... It sounds like her life was pretty sucky. But trying to kill your kid... yeah, that's even more sucky.
"Who were your parents, Vin?" Dockson asked. "Do you remember them?"
"I was raised by my half-brother, Reen," Vin said quietly, uncomfortable. These were not things she discussed with others.
Note: Every time Reen is mentioned, I get a little sadder and more protective of my girl.
… the 'organic doctrine' demands a 'real essence' in the sense of a complete analysis of the relations, and inter-relations of the actual entities which are formative of the actual entity in question, and an 'abstract essence' in which the specified actual entities are replaced by the notions of unspecified entities in such a combination; this is the notion of an unspecified actual entity. Thus the real essence involves real objectifications of specified actual entities; the abstract essence is a complex eternal object. There is nothing self-contradictory in the thought of many actual entities with the same abstract essence; but there can only be one actual entity with the same real essence. For the real essence indicates 'where' the entity is, that is to say, its status in the real world; the abstract essence omits the particularity of the status.

Slaar regarded her with a certain admiration. The Ice Warriors respected courage, and she was a better specimen of humanity than the miserable Fewsham, useful as he was. Nevertheless, he answered her burst of defiance just as he would have that of any other captive.
