(Somewhat surprisingly, I'd always assumed she was undead simply based on the discription of her appearance, but it wasn't until Issola that the word actually appeared in a description of her.) Paarfi takes no stance on her life-state that I can recall. Although I find the description of her origins in cahpter 18 of PotD to be very intriguing. The "World of Seven Doors" of which she "knows six, and is not entirely unacquainted with the seventh" interests me enormnously. I'm hopeful this reference wasn't just a one-off, and actually leads somewhere in one of the later books. Majikjon
