Characters

Prilla- Prilla is the main character of the story.The book starts with her first coming to Fairy Haven.However unlike other fairies she does not know what her talent is when she arrives.

No other fairy seems to be able to do this and it is seen as a bad thing. Every fairy is very surprised when Mother Dove selects Prilla to go on the quest because a lot of the fairies believe that she is incomplete.
