Psyche makes the God Ungit jealous therefore, as punishment, there has been little yield in the way of crops. While Psyche is beautiful, Orual is extremely homely. It does not take long before the citizens of Glome begin to refer to her as a goddess. As Orual's family has partial blood of the Gods, Psyche too has been touched. Soon after the arrival of Fox, the King married and brought into the world the most beautiful child, "Istra," which translates to Psyche. Fox became her only true comfort, and Orual affectionately began to call him "Grandfather." Fox taught her to think in the ways of the Greeks, how to regard the Gods and everything else that has happened in her life. However, her life changed dramatically with the introduction of Fox, one of her father's slaves, into her life. When Orual was a little girl, the only company she had to keep was her irritating sister, Redival, and her father, the tempestuous King.
