Tanaqui means "rushes" in-universe, although it breaks down into "younger sister"

"He paused again before answering sadly and hesitantly, “I am very devious, Granddaughter. You—you would not be here now if I had.” It came to me that my grandfather was not only bound and sad, and weighted with shame and loneliness, but even uncertain how to talk to an ordinary person like me. I had not thought it was possible to love him until then. I wanted to turn round and look at him, but I did not dare."

Tanaqui, Diana Wynne Jones, "The Spellcoats"

Here it is! The comic-style Spellcoats cover no one asked for.

Some elements may probably reveal the fact that I read the Dalemark books completely out of order

Just finished the dalemark quartet. And again I am feeling like there isn't enough fanart. And drawing is a rather relaxing. So here are tanaqui and the youngest brother Duck (mallard). I imagined that might be a scene after they went and fetched firewood from over the river

"What kind of illness is it that has a man in a fever in the morning and out fishing in the afternoon? Hern says it is a very rare and uncommon disease called cowardice."

Another dwj-one 🙈 I might be moving on to the other characters if I can keep up my motivation for it. Robin at the top gull left, hern right tanaqui at the bottom and duck in the middle (kind of forgot him at first, that's why it is awkward) I always thought of Gull as bit of high-school American football player handsome, since he is not described much in the book.

"He can work by dark, but he knows, by the same token, that we also appear mysterious and large in the night. See the way I am beginning to think like a witch!"
