Cedar was a beautiful travelling performer and member of the resistance against Wolfram and his faction. Her beauty tends to attract customers of the sexual kind, whom she accepts to gather money for her trip to Wolfsmund which she tries to pass along with her daughter Juwel. Cedar is very short tempered, quickly resorting to physical punishment on her daughter for being a burden when she committs an error. Despite this it is shown that she does actually care for her daughter, begging for her sake and crying seeing her daughter in pain.
Wolfsmund
Wolfsmund is a dark historical manga set in the early 14th century of Europe (Switzerland). The story revolves around the eponymous fortress in the St. Gotthard Pass which is ruled by a sadistic tyrant. Each chapter deals with characters who for some reason have to cross the pass and who end up getting interrogated by the tyrant. What sets this manga apart is the fact that there's rarely a happy ending for our protagonists. The author pulls no punches to show us just how brutal and inhuman the Middle Ages really were.
