Mrs. Jaks
Jwa’sins is Wee’git’s sister. She appears to Jared several times to try to convince him that magic is real, but Jared isn’t receptive to it. He observes that there is a monster under Jwa’sins’s skin, and she tells him that this is because she doesn’t use her magic—but Jared thinks that he is just hallucinating from drugs and alcohol. At the end of the book, Jwa’sins takes Jared to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting so that he can regain some control over his life.

Chapter 27
Quotes
His younger brother wanted nothing to do with magic or magical creatures. He was in love with a woman who wanted high status and a strong warrior for a husband. His village was at war and he wanted to fight. He didn’t want his father’s lonely life. His father was regarded with suspicion, resentment and hatred by everyone, even his own clan, who all blamed the shaman when someone fell sick. His son saw the fasting, and the time alone in the wilderness, and the lack of friends and decided that being a shaman wasn’t for him. But the spirits flocked to him like mosquitoes, torturing him until he gave in and became a powerful, powerful shaman.

“I want to shake your hand,” Mr. Wilkinson said. And he held out his hand, and he was attracting attention, so Jared reluctantly shook. “It took a lot of guts to come here. I wish I’d been as together as you are when I was your age. I’m proud of you, Jared.”
Jared started crying. Leaking tears. And then bawling and shaking. And feeling like a phony and a loser. Mr. Wilkinson wrapped his arms around him and let him cry.
