Soldier of fire

Echo Bluebottle was a very normal person on the outside, no strings attached. She did normal things, like drinking tea in particularly drowsy mornings, or reading yellow-paged books in the manor library. She made polite conversation at dinner parties, and made quiet jokes resulting in loud guffawing from visiting lords and ladies. In short, she never engaged in something people might call uncommon.
But Echo quickly learned that she could solely be described as simply, extraordinary.
