Ashe
Sarene's seon — a melon-sized ball of light with a deep, well-enunciated voice. Travels at her side, relays her seon-link conversations with her father in Teod, and tries patiently to keep her out of trouble. EL:EL:Ch 2

Events
- EL:EL:Ch 2 At Sarene's side throughout — dockside, funeral tent, palace, bedroom; carries her seon-link to her father.
- EL:EL:Ch 5 Hovers at Sarene's shoulder through both the throne-room confrontation and Kiin's dinner; later, on her order, follows Hrathen out of the palace and returns through Kiin's window with his report.
- EL:EL:Ch 8 Hovers at Sarene's shoulder through the throne room, the lunch, and the climb up the Elantris wall, betraying her painting career to her uncle's family before steadying her against the height.
- EL:EL:Ch 14 Reports the meagre findings of his week-long survey of Elantris and the city gate guards; resigns himself to her discarding the widow's blacks.
- EL:EL:Ch 17 Walks the streets of Kae beside Sarene; waits politely outside the Korathi chapel rather than enter it.
- EL:EL:Ch 17 Carries the seon-call to Eventeo and keeps watch as the conversation reaches its hardest topics.
- EL:EL:Ch 17 Dimmed almost to invisibility on the far wall of Sarene's room when the noise inside the wall startles her awake.
- EL:EL:Ch 20 Hovers outside the chapel walls — within hearing — to make sure no one else is eavesdropping on the meeting, then carries Sarene's plans across the sea to Eventeo.
- EL:EL:Ch 20 Floats around Sarene's untidied room tsk-ing, prods her into noticing the runaway maids, then goes to fetch Meala — and later steadies her when she breaks down briefly over whether Arelon will ever accept her.
- EL:EL:Ch 20 Roused by Sarene's excitement to listen at the wall with her, registers reluctance, and grudgingly helps her log the pattern of midnight scrapings.
- EL:EL:Ch 23 Bobs alongside Sarene through the palace tapestry-lined entry, dismayed at the lengthening list of things she means to do, and accepts the new errand — go back into Elantris and find out who Spirit is.
- EL:EL:Ch 26 Floats above the supply cart and delivers his report on the impostor "gang leaders," gently re-raising his standing reservation that Sarene's fixation on Lord Spirit is a distraction.
- EL:EL:Ch 29 Hovers in distress in the carriage, races ahead of the relief courier to halt Iadon's soldiers, and later returns to confirm the troops went home.
- EL:EL:Ch 32 Stands watch on Iadon from a torch shadow; raises the alarm when the king's carriage proves a ruse; guides Sarene through the sewers; quietly calls Opa beforehand so that Roial and Eondel follow.
- EL:EL:Ch 35 Ashe relays the call from Eventeo to Sarene in the palace.
- EL:EL:Ch 35 Ashe confirms that Raoden's death dissolved Sarene's marriage contract, freeing her to wed again.
- EL:EL:Ch 41 Finds Sarene's window in New Elantris late at night, his Aon dim but his voice unchanged — still articulate, still himself.
- EL:EL:Ch 44 Hidden in shadow until Sarene reveals him; carries word from Kiin's that Telrii has been crowned.
- EL:EL:Ch 47 Carries Eventeo's voice to Sarene for the unbearable confirmation that her father has indeed sworn the Derethi oath.
- EL:EL:Ch 49 Stops by the library briefly to relay Sarene's daily report to Galladon in Raoden's absence.
- EL:EL:Ch 50 Reports to Sarene in the carriage on Telrii's indolence and Hrathen's daily visits.
- EL:EL:Ch 56 Relays the night's news to Sarene on Kiin's roof; later sent to warn Galladon in New Elantris.
- EL:EL:Ch 58 Sent ahead to tell Galladon and Karata that a shipment is coming over the wall.
- EL:EL:Ch 62 Zips across the courtyard with the news a seon in Teoras just passed him: Sarene is surrounded, the Teo kingdom under attack.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Hovers in through the palace window to deliver Sarene's apology to Raoden, then settles beside the chair and begins telling the story of where he was the night Elantris was restored.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Floats in with Sarene's message of an inbound weapons shipment, hands it to Dashe when Karata proves to be in some library no one will name, and lingers when Matisse borrows him.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Tells the children of the Roost a story in his deep, measured voice — coaxes Riika and the rest of the stragglers into sleep — then speculates with Matisse that Lord Spirit may yet mend Elantris and that she should one day have a seon of her own, perhaps named Ati.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Scouts the front of New Elantris for Matisse, comes back terrified with the report of red-uniformed soldiers slaughtering everyone they find, and is sent off again to call Dashe back.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Zips down out of the sky as a streak of light to circle the squad's heads and pull their eyes off the children long enough for Dashe to flank them.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Carries Matisse's instructions ahead to Idotris — douse the lantern, lead the children north to the squat building marked by Aon Rao — and goes with them.
- EL:HoE:Prologue Closes the framing story for Raoden: led the children to the hidden library, stayed with them through the night, and corrects the king that Matisse's seon is not Ati but Aeo.
