Kestrel Hath

“I hate school! I hate ratings! I won’t reach higher! I won’t strive harder! I won’t make tomorrow better than today! Pongo to Exams!”

Kestrel Hath is one of the main protagonists in the wind on fire trilogy.

The Wind Singer

Kestrel Hath was considered as a rebel. She hated the exams and viewed them as something unworthy of their efforts, and she tried hard to prove to everyone that their ratings don't matter; for example, when she was in class, she willingly headed to the end of the class and sat there when the teacher deducted five point from her and her twin brother, Bowman Hath. Later on, the High Examiner was trying hard to get her back on track with the rest of the city, which ended with everyone thinking that she was an outlaw or a criminal.

After that, she set off in a dangerous journey along with Bowman and Mumpo as they try to get the Wind Singer back and protect her city.

The Slaves of the Mastery

Kestrel's personality remains the same. Throughout the book, Kestrel is worried because she has grown distant from Bowman, who now wants to be a Singer. At the beginning, Kestrel is separated from her family and later befriend Sisi.

Firesong

As the Manth people leave the ruined Mastery, Kestrel becomes worried about reaching the homeland and what it will mean for her mother.
