# Falkland — Robbery Under Arms character guide

> Falkland in Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Miss Falkland

**First appearance:** 0001-robbery-under-arms

## Snapshot

A proud, beautiful woman whose refusal to submit to Dan Moran's brutality triggers the violent confrontation that defines Starlight's authority over his gang.

## Who they are

Miss Falkland is a woman of evident refinement trapped in a night of terror at Darjallook, and her piercing scream when Moran seizes her becomes the moral test that separates Starlight's men from common ruffians. Her dignity under assault, and the fury it provokes in Jim Marston, exposes the fault lines within the gang between those who still hold to some code and those who do not. She matters because her suffering forces Starlight to assert command and reveals what kind of captain he intends to be.
