Retired Pirate & Mistress of Ruda's Place in the Far Isle.  She plied the seas for several centuries before the Patternfall wars mainly praying on Kashfran shipping first as a pirate then as a Begman privateer.  Her activities brought her considerable fame and fortune as well as many determined enemies.   After a particularly brutal battle in Kashfran waters she was led into Amber by Prince Brand where she and the remnants of her crew settled in the Far Isles, beaching a dozen badly damage ship on a western isle.  Afterwards she converted them into a small community and has been its unofficial mayor ever since.

During the Patternfall War she and Draso Dint united forces to man ships to fight off a major naval intrusion into Amber by sea.  Their uneasy alliance of traditional foes successfully ended the attempt of Chaos to invade Amber by sea.  This earned her the Valorous Knight of Amber-Third Class.  An accolade she laughs about often but is not above using it if needed to preserve her interests.  

While Far Isle does not have an actual government Ruda is considered one of the people of importance there.
