Character: Dina
Dina's mother, Melussina, has a special ability - when she looks people in the eye, they can't lie. When a crime needs to be solved, she is called in.
Dina has inherited her mother's abilities, but she can't identify with it. She understands, however, that it is an important gift that she must treat with respect and great responsibility. Her brother Davin and sister Melli did not inherit this gift. When she meets her father Sezuan, she learns that she has inherited his gift as well. His ability is to create illusions and momentarily become invisible, or rather create the illusion that he is not there. Dina lived with her mother, who ran away from Sezuan when she was expecting Dina, because Sezuan's mother had her own plans for Dina.
