Six (Sword of Truth)

Six is a fictional character from Terry Goodkind's "The Sword of Truth" series.

General Characteristics

For some reason, Six is not affected by the Chainfire spell activated in the tenth book. The reason for this is unknown, but it may be attributed to her being a witch woman. However, this is probably not true, as another witch woman, Shota, does not remember Kahlan.

History

Generally not much is known about Six. She is a witch woman from the Old World. Her abilities have so far appeared to be similar to that of her New World counterpart Shota. The scope of Six's abilities have not been revealed as of the second Chainfire novel, however, she appears to be even more feared than Shota.

Six is introduced in the second book of the Chainfire Trilogy "Phantom" [Goodkind, T: Phantom, page 115., 2006] . She collaborates with Princess Violet (now Queen Violet) to capture Richard Rahl. She concocts an elaborate plan to use the artisan ability introduced in Wizard's First Rule to deprive Richard of his gift.

For witch women the seventh daughter is special. Her mothers choice of the name Six for her sixth daughter is meant to be derisive. Six's choice however to remain known by the name is meant to be a display of power.
