Neyu is the principal character in the story. At the story's beginning, she's 12-14 years old and stowing away in a cargo ship fleeing from a wave of carpet bombing. She has two older sisters and an older brother. The older brother lives on Radi, along with the rest of her family. One of the elder sisters, however, has gone off-world (possibly enlisted in the war) and is the person Neyu is trying to find.
Neyu stows away aboard Vikrannu's cargo ship when the local town comes under attack.

Character arc
Neyu's arc follows her as a person who is accustomed to working mutually with other people; someone who is used to always relying on others, as they rely on her (it's a mutual relationship). However, being the youngest, she is the one who almost always relies on others, though she always pulls her own weight. In the earliest parts of the story, she starts losing those props; the people she's relied on (and who have relied on her) begin to disappear. The world is no longer functioning properly, and her goal is to get back to the state in which she is leaning on others, as things should be (see interreliance).
