Fleur Pillager

Fleur is a Native American woman with magical powers who lives on an Indian reservation on her family's land by Lake Matchimanito. According to local legend, she has drowned twice and caused the deaths of men. After her family dies from illness, she is a teenager, alone and sick in the cabin when Nanapush, another Native American, saves her. He invites her to stay at his home, but she goes back to her cabin. She does leave to work in the nearby town of Argus, at a butcher shop.
