He explains that Genya is unique and when her abilities began showing, she could have had a choice to be a Fabrikator or a Corporalnik, but he decided to develop her gift and make her a "present" to the Queen. Alina asks the Darkling if there are other Tailors. It is obvious that the Queen is jealous of Genya's beauty, but, because the latter is a servant, she cannot do anything about it.
When Alina enters the domed hall and sees the Grisha, Alina understands the Fjerdan-born Queen's prejudice against Grisha beauty as Alina notes that Grisha are "strikingly attractive" and "unnervingly good-looking." Alina mistakenly thinks Genya has tailored the Grisha but she tells her she hasn't. Genya insults the Queen in front of Alina who gapes at Genya since insulting the Queen could be considered treason, but Genya seems unconcerned. Genya is apparently not allowed to work on any Grisha due to the Queen's orders.
Genya then brings Alina down to the Court and asks that she not tell anyone how she helped to change her appearance.
Although Genya warns her the changes are temporary and will last only a few days. Using objects like berries, powders, rose petals, and gold, Genya performs small science tailoring Alina's face and hair: every blemish, every scrape, every flaw even the dark circles that plagued Alina since childhood seemed to disappear beneath Genya's fingers. She was frequently abused by the King, starting at an unknown point.Īt the request of the Darkling, she helps Alina Starkov get ready to meet the King while she is at the Little Palace. Since she had slept in the Grand Palace and received privileges, the other Grisha treated her with resentment. Because of her uniqueness of being a gifted Tailor, the Darkling sent her as a gift to the Queen at a young age, making Genya her servant. Genya hasn't seen her parents since she was five.
