Magpie is Honei's right hand. He is perceptive and wise. However, him and Honei clash quite often. Honei is trusting and goes by feelings of the heart, while Magpie tends to be overly cautious. Despite their frequent bickering, it is for that exact reason Honei keeps him around and treasures his friendship so. He sees things very differently from her, and she is grateful for his advice, viewpoint, and counsel.
