Shaz

Five years before the series, Shaz fell in love with a young stone artisan named Philippe Lanois. However, her parents had plans for her to marry into a wealthy family. Although Shaz did love Philippe, she married a man she did not love to please her parents, and was a dutiful wife despite her husband cheating on her and became friends with a young servant named Thelma. It was around that time that Shaz began to write letters to Philippe with a single sentence. "I want to see you." However, her husband, in an act of anger, pushed Shaz down the stairs, causing the young woman to become injured and bedridden. Shaz askes Thelma, who was by her side, to burn the letters if she died. Thelma suggests that she mail them instead as Shaz presumably dies. Shaz later appears beside Thelma after her ex-husband and mothter are arrested. As Lag Seeing tells Philippe that her marriage to Walter Scarr will be annulled, Shaz stares lovingly at the man she loves, prompting a happy reunion for the couple.
