She Who Remembers is a title given to female serpents who maintain their full ancestral memories even in serpent form. Few such serpents hatch but they are of great importance as they must lead serpent tangles to the former Serpent River to the cities of Frengong and Cassarick to cocoon. She Who Remembers is intended to meet with tangles, using her venom spikes to release venom memories of the migration route. 

However, the only two She Who Remembers in modern generations befell troubles. One cocooned and was turned into the Liveship Vivacia, the other was captured and held on Other's Island until being freed by Wintrow Vestrit. At that time, she led the remaining serpents on the first succesful migration in centuries.
