Ula

Ula is a witch of Elin's coven; the same coven as Shala and Cirrin Broken-Moon. She enters a dream of the Apprentice and proves a powerful manipulator of emotions, although this ability is likely enhanced by the staff of the Goddess which she carries until it is wrested from her by the Apprentice. After the Apprentice is seemingly favored by the Goddess, Ula pledges her fealty and joins the Apprentice on her quest.

In addition to the staff of the Goddess, Ula also carries a lariat that coils itself. When Ula first appears, she is accompanied by a demon horse, although it disappears when she speaks "in a voice not her own".
