The girl, however, might be as you imagined—assuming you imagined her as thoughtful, soft-spoken, and overly fond of collecting cups.

History

Early Life

Tress was born to a peasant family, named Glorf after family members before her. Her wild hair gained her the name Tress, which everyone knew her by.[1] She washed windows for a meager living, using much of her funds to buy ingredients to make pies to exchange for cups that sailors brought her. Regularly running into the duke's son Charlie on the mansion's grounds, which she could access because she cleaned the windows, she soon fell in love with him despite him pretending to be a groundskeeper.[3]

Leaving the Rock

Tress tries to escape Diggen's Point to rescue Charlie from the Sorceress when the king and Duke refuse to.[2] She manages to con her way onboard the Oot's Dream pretending to be an inspector with her father's assistance, but is captured and imprisoned by the crew.[4][5][6] The ship is a smuggling ship and the crew believe her to be an inspector who is out to get them.[6] She meets Huck while being held captive, not long before the ship is attack by the pirate ship Crow's Song.[6][7][8] Fleeing the ship after the seethe stops, Tress walks across the Verdant Sea to seek passage on the pirate ship.[9]

Crow's Song

Tress scrubs the deck of Crow's Song for her keep until she is promoted to sprouter because she doesn't fear the spores.[10]
