Petra Strorm
Rosalind is David’s half cousin, and later his girlfriend. Uncle Axel finds out about David’s secret ability when he hears him having a conversation with Rosalind, who can also communicate telepathically. Rosalind’s ability is exposed when she and David run toward Petra’s silent calls for help, and she escapes with David and Petra when they are forced to flee Waknuk. She is kind, thoughtful, and a good planner.
