Defiance/L

Liberata
The Liberata are one of the seven alien races of the Votan Collective that came to Earth seeking to terraform a new home for themselves. They are intelligent, humanoid beings, that are short in stature. To the unwary eye, it is difficult to distinguish gender between male and female. Joshua Nolan made note of this after he told the story of how the principal of a school gave him a kiss and he couldn't determine the gender of the Liberata that kissed him. In the town of Defiance, there are two Liberata of note. One is Bertie, who is a surly house servant employed by Rafe McCawley. The other is Jered Kikema, who was a bartender at the NeedWant for seven years up until the time of his death in 2046.

Little Wolf
Little Wolf is the nickname attributed to Irisa Nyira. It is generally used only be members of the Spirit Riders who, like her, are all Irathients. When the name is spoken, it is said in the Irathient tongue. Sukar - leader of the Spirit Riders, uses the term more often than the others. However, Nizar and Rynn Grisu, have also referred to Irisa by this name. When Irisa came upon a dying Sukar following a razor rain storm, he first addressed her as "Little Wolf".
