Aerva,Aelin and Solarn are the first three born to the Firstcomers who followed Var. Aervais the first-born, nick-named Squirrelnest by her sister Solarn. Aerva returned the compliment by calling her Shadowcurl, while the platinum-blond Aelin becomes 'Sunsilk'. These three young ladies don't find living on Abode nearly as stressful as their parents--which isn't to say they don't have a few problems which perplex them.
