Suur Tulia

Suur Tulia is a young suur of the avout community, active among the Tenners in the Decenarian Math. She is first seen in everyday work alongside peers and is later shown quietly looking out for others during the days of Apert.

First Appearance and Context

Tulia is first observed outside the Refectory kitchen, sitting with Suur Ala cutting old tires into sandals in the shaded work area by the herb garden, while Fraa Erasmas passes nearby. This occurs in the lead‑up to Apert.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• A suur among the Tenners; participates in communal chores and routine duties in the Decenarian Math.
• During Apert, she checks on Fraa Arsibalt and asks a peer to go and see him, showing quiet concern for others.
• Serves on the bell‑ringing team in the Mynster; with Ala she helps prepare unusual changes ahead of a major aut and relays a brief message that she will miss a meal and that the team’s work will require full attention.
• Engages actively in discussions with peers, offering precise contributions and questions; in study she and Ala debrief chalk‑hall sessions together until their understanding matches—a habit their friends jokingly dub “the creature with two backs.”
• In the aftermath of a grave censure, she voices that the group owes it to Orolo to continue work he began and presses a friend to confront what that commitment might demand.

Relationships

• Fraa Erasmas: A close peer; she passes him timely messages, challenges him in private conversation, and urges steadiness when plans require care.
• Suur Ala: Long‑standing partner in chores and study; the two often work and reason side by side.
• Fraa Arsibalt: She monitors his well‑being during busy periods and nudges others to check on him.
• Fraa Orolo: She speaks of owing him a debt of effort and presses a friend to name what Orolo represents to them.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Origin: A foundling discovered at the Day Gate; when sickly, she was kept in the nearby Unarian Math before advancing through the labyrinth to her present cohort. She has no known family outside the walls.
• Demeanor: Deft, organized, direct, and quietly attentive; willing to confront friends candidly while maintaining practical focus.

Current Status/Location

Active within the Decenarian community, continuing everyday duties, studies, and occasional bell‑ringing responsibilities; remains closely knit with peers while events around the Mynster and the broader community unfold.
