Philippa is a middle-aged woman who sheltered in the convent during the cathar wars. Everybody knows she has medical skills but she doesn’t like to talk about it publicly. She’s rather mysterious and interesting woman. She’s probably been through terrible things so people rather don’t even ask her about her past.
Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird. They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me; Lamentations 3, 52-53
