# Maren A woman aboard the Ondine who gives Ned a blanket and her freshwater ration. Her son Cael drowned seven seasons earlier at age four, according to her account. She waits at each ringing of the bell and tells Ned she has never seen him return. During the storm, Ned sees her embracing Cael underwater. She drifts down out of view and does not return aboard in the account. Her intention in entering the water and final fate are not explicitly established. ## Evidence and Sources [[Transmission 0001|Transmission 0001 — the ocean and the bell]] · [Original post](https://nednotded.com/the-ocean-and-the-bell/) [[Earth Pelagic|Pelagic World]]
