Things we learned about Windsong from Silver Knot
Her real name is Ekaterina
Windsong鈥檚 hands tremble when she鈥檚 nervous, which makes her wanting to hold Vila鈥檚 hand for comfort in her message all the more heartbreaking.
The town gave her a lot of cheese on her send-off which she鈥檚 nibbling on during her stay at the Foundation. It鈥檚 a source of comfort. I also think it's funny since her Udimo is a type of rodent. The mouse needs her cheese.
Windsong was the first of her classmates to recover from ley-line sickness. She was up and talking (after vomiting) while others were unconscious or being carried out on stretchers.
Windsong worked with gerbils for a project
Windsong protected a family of Critters from a pack of wolves. She jumped in to save them, which makes me think of the way she protected Avgust. She also did the same thing against Zeno when the town rebelled. It鈥檚 part of character and she鈥檚 always looked out for others.
Windsong鈥檚 ley-line research is confirmed to be involved in researching the Storm! We speculated about it before but Lucy invites her to join Laplace.
Windsong has successfully brought ley-lines back into the spotlight. She鈥檚 lost all her allies in the field, she lost Rayashki to the Storm, but she endured. Windsong鈥檚 still nervous and anxious about things after Rayashki, but you can see her determination shine through during her lecture.
She鈥檚 gone through a lot of physical hardships like freezing terrain in mountain tops, poverty, and so on. She鈥檚 very tough despite being very soft inside. The world was cruel to her but she鈥檚 still an amiable, albeit shy person. I think this says a lot about her character.

For someone who has gone through life mostly unacknowledged鈥攖his scene hits hard. To finally be recognized, and believed in. To be thanked for your efforts and to be seen. These kiddos are precious.

So we know from her character story that Windsong's real name is Ekaterina, but we never get to know where the name "Windsong" came from.
Someone on discord got a big brain idea that it might be a smart gay reference to the Little Mermaid, where Windsong is the wind spirit Vila meets at the end of her story!
As we all know, the Little Mermaid is fated to die and dissolve into sea foam, but her good deed spares her life and transforms her into a Sylph, a daughter of the air. She goes to live her new life with the other wind spirits, where they strive to do good deeds for 300 years to get the eternal soul.
This parallels SO well to Vila, a "mermaid" who survives her fate of "dissolving" to the Storm, marking the end of her old life in Rayashki and the start of a new one in the Foundation with her "wind spirit", aka Windsong! They also look after the Rayashki kids together, whom Vila refers to as the true "eternal soul" in her story.
In the fairy tale, the wind spirits can also shorten their 300 years of service by meeting good children (probably to encourage the kids you read this story with to behave), which ties another connection to Vila and Windsong teaching and caring for the kids throughout the story.
