Princess Sonia Vorbarra (NPC)

It's mostly only soldiers coming and going through the guard posted around the outsiders' tent, but from time to time a bright-eyed, dark-haired young woman slips through. She's dressed in the same plain clothes of anyone not in uniform, mostly made of heavy wool to ward against the cold, but her Barrayaran accent isn't quite as thick as most of the soldiers'. She seems deeply curious, mostly, and she largely lacks the hostility some of the soldiers bear toward the odder-looking outsiders.

At times she seems to be able to talk the guards into rather begrudgingly letting her through, but mostly she seems to weasel her way in by way of bringing food and sometimes clothing or extra supplies. It mostly seems to provide her an excuse to try and talk to the outsiders. She's a little diffident at first contact, but quickly proves herself not to be very shy at all.

She's not so nosy as to venture into the tent uninvited, but she happily presents food directly to outsiders with a smile and might even go so far as to offer to eat with them, which earns uneasy looks from the guards. Other times she seems to be checking on them with more care and interest than the soldiers, asking how things are going, how the outsiders are feeling. Either way, she's clearly a social creature, and not particularly afraid to approach anyone regardless of appearance.
