Nix Marsten
Ada Wallace is the second newblood from Julian’s list that joins Mare’s team. She used to work as a housemaid for a noble Silver family in Harbor Bay, until Crance recruited her. Ada can perfectly remember everything she’s ever learned and acquire new skills incredibly quickly. While living and training at the Notch, Ada becomes a capable pilot. She takes part in the raid on Corros Prison, which she survives. Afterwards, Ada volunteers to help Mare save the Little Legion.
