'''Ermintrude Fanshaw''' is the 139th in succession to the throne of Great Britain at birth. Her mother died while giving birth to her younger brother, who also did not survive the delivery. To escape these painful memories, her father, [[Henry Fanshaw]] moved to an island in the [[Great Southern Pelagic Ocean]] to become governor, expecting his daughter to join him a month later. Aboard the ''[[Sweet Judy]]'', Ermintrude is following her father to [[Port Mercia]]. In the meantime, an outbreak of influenza kills all the heirs to the throne, leaving her father as the next rightful king - if only he can be crowned in time.

Unaware of this, Ermintrude gets stranded on a small island as the only survivor of a tsunami, together with [[Mau]], the only survivor of his people. She assumes the name Daphne, which she has always preferred over "Ermintrude". Her appearance (white skin, white dress, no toes visible due to her shoes) causes her to be known as "the ghost girl".

Ermintrude was brought up to have no practical skills, to be a sort of doll. Daphne has found a life in which she has a purpose. People listen to her. She does amazing things, such as help at the birth of babies, make beer, saw people's legs off (following the instructions in a ship's surgeon's manual), and not least, poison a man.

According to Mau, she saved his life twice. The first time, because she gave him a reason not to end his own life, and the second time when she entered the in-between world to recall him from a dark dream.

She has a questioning mind. When her mother died in childbirth, she took note of the fact that the horse of the doctor coming to attend her mother, coming in the dark of night through a great storm, was struck by lightning. So there was no doctor at the birth. If the doctor had succeeded in getting there through the storm, people would have said, “It was a miracle.” But since the lightning picked out one small horse amidst all the trees, was that a miracle?
