Speculation:Devera
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
According to Steven Brust, Devera's father is Kieron the Conqueror; she {is/will be} conceived in the Paths of the Dead, and {is/will be} born in Verra's Halls. However, this has not yet been shown in the books, and Steve may well change his mind.
Devera is apparantly a shapeshifter of some sort, and she might therefore be the cat that appears in Verra's Halls.
Which opens the door to the next question--is this the same as the white cat that Aliera owns?
Devera, when she appears, often seems to do so on the boundaries between worlds. (Morrolan's Window, Verra's Halls, in the mountain pass between Fenario and Faerie, etc.) Is this an ability or a restriction?
[edit] Devera is a Goddess
Due to Devera's ancestry, where she lives, and her unusual and excessive abilities, Devera may be a Goddess. This would explain her ability to travel through time and other powers. She may replace her grandmother upon her death.
[edit] Devera is a necromancer
Devera's training by her mother (who claims to be a competent necromancer but not in The Necromancer's league), her ability/tendency to appear at the boundaries between worlds, and her "gold-sparks" effect transport, all point toward a powerful and developing necromantic ability. It may be that she is or will become a master of this art.
