Daiyu

Daiyu is(was?) an Asmodian mortal woman of possibly highly noble lineage. Her name means "black jade" and she was named so because of her huge black eyes. She was a scholar and a woman of fierce will.

At some point she met a notorious Elyos Daeva known as Ourobouros Stalks-By-Night and the two became lovers, eventually she wen with him to Elysea, where she was disguised as an Elyos and married her lover. They had a son ("her most prised possession"), named Ourobouros after his father. Daiyu was forbidden to speak of her ancestry, or even speak her native language, so she had to hide her real identity even from her own son, although the latter managed to figure it out on his own. By the events of The Lay she appears to be dead.
