Ksandra doesn’t know why she is running around doing quests and fighting. She is a maid. All she signed up for was to keep some of the Unseen University tidy. Well, as tidy as it could be with spells always crashing around.
Her mother just wanted her to be productive in a safe place. The University should be safe with wizards to protect her.
But here she is, wandering the countryside trying to help people get things done. Annoying beasts keep stopping her, and they sure do make an awful mess after she deals with them…
Well, Mrs Whitlow will demand cleanliness and punctuality, so Ksandra keeps going about her tasks.
