Optional notes

At the time of Ancillary Justice's opening, Breq has been living as One Esk Nineteen for nineteen years, three months, and one week. She has never entirely gotten used to having her consciousness restricted to one body, and frequently reaches for parts of her awareness that are no longer there. Breq is the main character of the Imperial Radch trilogy. She is the last remaining part of Justice of Toren, specifically its ancillary One Esk Nineteen, but upon the destruction of Justice of Toren she became confined to a single body. Breq frequently describes herself as having inhumanly fast reflexes and an eerily expressionless face and voice, when she is not overtly trying to mimic human expression. It is suspected, however, that she is not an entirely reliable narrator on this count. In several emotionally intense situations, she will not describe herself as reacting emotionally or having any particular emotion, but tell-tale pauses in conversation or descriptions of other characters wiping away the tears on her face will belie her true feelings.
