Imbolc

Imbolc, or Spring, is the Peace-Weaver of the Earth and former wearer of the gold disc of Seasons.

Spring
Imbolc appeared on Waseley Hill, looking very old and worn out. She was to deliver a prophecy of the Shield Maiden. Finding three hydden and a half, she spoke with the halfling, Bedwyn Stort about the "giant-born" and how he would help them find the Shield-Maiden.

Her steed, the White Horse, arrived with her, landing in a field in Warwickshire of Englalond. She was aware of the coming of Jack, and touching the last remaining gem on her pendant (Winter), which it turns out, it too, had vanished. She knew, she had to find the Shield Maiden.

Meeting Brief again, in a group of seven (including her, eight, an unlucky number), she tells Brief she has about a decade to find her successor, as she is fading away. Explaining to Brief, she says that the Peace-Weavers don't disappear, but rather pass on to another, which is where her successor, came in.

Trivia

 * Her touch to a mortal may be a burden too great to bear, as can drain years away from one, e.g Bedwyn Stort, who was touched by Imbolc. As years drain from the mortal, they can be moved into the immortal, and Imbolc briefly gained her youth back.
 * She has the ability to shapeshift; her first guise was a middle-aged hydden pedlar from Ireland, wearing a large portersac on her back and in front of her carried a tray of combs, laces and charms for travellers, which was supported by a strap that went around her neck.
 * Imbolc had been looking for her successor for 300 years.
