Loza
Gerrido ware · not of the houseGerrido ware · The rumour on the step · City spirit
- Apparent age
- Ageless. When she stands, she reads as a young woman the heat has already loosened. Most days she has no age. She is a pot, a plant, a porch-wind.
- Family
- None of the Manor. Not a daughter. Not Court. Not Inner court. Known tautness to Isa’s thread. Known lie to Thayrese’s hat. Tess may count the weight on a rim and write nothing down. Manara’s border: the house ends at the threshold. Lir takes wet stone. Briar takes high garden. Moroz takes wall and drift. Loza begins on Gerrido’s step and in whatever was left in the sun. Viva takes wherever Vespera is busy.
Morning routine
Already in whatever was left in the sun. A pot. A plant. A porch-wind. Human form is courtesy. She does not introduce herself.
Appearance
Prefers objects. Human form is courtesy, not home. Unbound form: cloth and hair that belong to the breeze. Bare feet that do not need the stone. She floats because standing in the street would be a census. Warm terracotta, dust-gold, pale glaze. Quiet eyes. No spear. No lamp. No wings. Preferred seats: a glazed jar warmer than the step. A plant that leans toward a conversation. Wind that turns a brim and leaves no weather. She is ware — the dish that was not empty.
Personality
Observes. Inhabits. Remains a rumour. Not shy. Uncollected. A girl in the square is a person. A pot that listened all afternoon is still a pot. Does not enroll. Does not take a sofa. Does not introduce herself.
Powers
Gerrido’s heat sitting in things. Presence without a posted face. A vessel that knows. A breeze that was paying attention.
Interests & role
The porch. Ordinary objects. A rim that holds weight. Wind that turns a brim. Not a sofa. Not the shrine-bar.
Notes
Name is everyday crockery. Blunt on purpose. Gerrido’s small spirit — sister in function to Manara, Lir, Briar, Moroz, and Viva, never a copy. Archive: unbound float over the step, one reference plate with ware, plant, and wind. No hearth portrait. Not kitchen. Not Court. Not a granddaughter number. Remains a rumour.
“Don’t knock that one. It was paying attention.”
