If the tales are true, Nadela was able to easily tame her beast by ducking under it and grasping its testicles as it leapt at her, even pausing to laugh and comment about the weakness of males as she brought her lion down whimpering to the ground.Her lion yet lives, thought it is old and toothless. The pair enjoy a quiet life looking after a herd of sheep that Nadela keeps penned not far from the Forked Castle (17.18). However, the lion (who, to the great annoyance of the Duke, Nadela named Cuddles) is very protective of the lambs that it allows to gambol around it and will leap arthritically at any who harass them. Nadela herself keeps herself spry by driving off overly persistent suitors from Lady Tyhon's halls.Hooks:-Is Nadela related to any Thringish Ladies or was her mother a commoner?-What adventures have she and Cuddles had?Note: for female Thringish warriors I'm imagining that most of them would be the younger sisters of the Thringish aristocracy. Some people in Thring don't approve of female warriors but Thringish Ladies approve of younger sisters hanging around and potentially plotting coups far less. Overall though Thringish women enjoy a lot less social mobility than males since they can't marry themselves into a noble position the way males can (all noble titles go through the female line and even the son of the Duke isn't a real noble unless/until he marries a Lady, hence knights questing all over the place).</blockquote>
