Liath - Character Analysis

Liath is one of the central characters in the Crown of Stars, along with Alain she has a pivotal role to play. However, how does she match up to Hannah, Rosvita, Sanglant and Alain?

For me she is desperately lacking. I think it is perhaps because she is ethereal and Kate wanted to make her appear above mortal beings. The downside to this is that Liath does not relate to the other characters at all. Kate debates this issue through Liath's constant doubts about her love for her friends and her family. For all her worth to the dynamics of the story she is fairly redundant in context to the narrative of the story. If she died in the next chapter I would not be that sympathetic.
