Suur Tulia

Suur Tulia is a suur in a Decenarian math. She is glimpsed performing practical work alongside Suur Ala and is noted by the narrator for inspiring a personal crush.

First appearance and context

Tulia is first observed outside the Refectory kitchen, in the shade beneath a deep eave that keeps the sun off the work area by the herb garden and nearby tangles. She sits with Suur Ala cutting up tires to make sandals while, inside, Fraa Orolo and Fraa Erasmas talk over history and security measures being considered ahead of Apert in consultation with the Warden Fendant.

Role and function

• Participates in everyday craft work within the math, including cutting tires into sandals.
• Described as sitting with Suur Ala “explaining something to each other as usual,” suggesting she often converses closely with her peer during chores.

Relationships and references

• Observed by Fraa Erasmas, who states he has a crush on her; he is mindful not to embarrass himself within her hearing.
• Seen working alongside Suur Ala; the two are depicted together in a quiet, companionable setting just outside the kitchen. (No further details about Ala are given here.)
