Felix's beloved
A bright, brave young woman from Arabia who arrives at the cottage on horseback and whose language lessons teach the Creature to speak.
Safie is a beautiful Arabian woman who arrives at the De Lacey cottage in spring, and Felix greets her with joy. She is independent-minded, artistic and brave. She is deeply devoted to Felix, and she brings sunshine into the household.
