Ankoret Obeliten (pronounced ann-KORE-eht oh-BELL-ih-tehn), known more formally as Lady Ankoret was a member of the luarin nobility of the Copper Isles and the Obeliten family, a rich noble house. She was around the same age as Nuritin Balitang, the great-aunt of Lady Saraiyu and Lady Dovasary. Later, after Princess Imajane assured the noblewomen that the revolt was only minor, she honored both Nuritin and Lady Ankoret by asking for them to walk beside her.
