Kalinda showed up on shore with broken legs and a broken brain about seven years ago and she never quite got full use of either one again.

She requires help with even the simplest day to day activities and is known for scaring the children and even a good number of the adults with her rantings.

Paeter claims it is a sign of true fortune to be able to care for those who cannot care for themselves, and if no one else takes a turn he will spend his days making sure she is taken care of on top of his normal work. Typically, Dame Edgefield and Paeter spend the most time with Kalinda.
