Dramatis Personae: P

Poledra
(Child of Light, The Woman Who Watches)

Poledra is one of the most mysterious characters in the series. She and Belgarath met shortly before the cracking of the world, when she wore her original form of a wolf.

Polgara the Sorceress
(Aunt Pol, Lady Polgara, Duchess of Erat)

Polgara is the elder of Belgarath's twin daughters, the other being Beldaran. Born while her father was in Mallorea recovering the stolen Orb of Aldur (in the year 1897 A.C.), she is gifted with immunity to old age and (presumably) fatal illness due to her ability to perform sorcery. Her natural form is that of a beautiful woman with changeable blue eyes and a characteristic white lock at her brow among her raven hair, but she is also fond of the form of a owl, and occasionally takes the form of a falcon when she needs speed.

Polgara has acted as guardian to the Rivan line since the assassination of King Gorek of Riva, together with all but one of his family, in the year 4001 A.C. At the end of the Belgariad, she married Durnik, and later gave birth to twin children.
