She was the main character, she was a high priest, warrior who “defeated” the ants, hunter, etc. Portia was the name given to the main guy of the story.
Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.
I think it’s the name given by the author for the reader’s sake and not their “real” name. I think he says in the beginning, let’s call her portia . Their names are said in taps of their limbs. And are probably different for different portia over the history of the series. I may be mistaken.

You’ll have to remind me, was that the leader or the rebel?
