After the Calamity while Coatleque spent three years as a brothel slave, there was a Seeker girl named Sapphire who took pity on her. She saw that Coatleque had some measure of strength and decided to mentor her, teaching her how to survive in that environment.
Sapphire taught Coatleque how to speak properly as an upper-class citizen, to hide her accent, and how to read and write. She also taught her how to present herself, apply various makeups, to pick simple locks, and some minor slight-of-hand tricks. Coatleque received her somewhat exotic name from Sapphire to use as a cover to protect her real name, but the Keeper mostly just called her "Red" because of her hair.
She did all of this because she had her own faith in Nymeia that she would not forever be held hostage in that environment. It was this faith that was transferred to Coatleque, and is what made her the woman she is today. Luckily this faith paid off as Sapphire was able to escape the brothel after eleven long years, a mere few weeks before it was raided by the Syndicate. She revealed her true name to Coatleque beforehand, a sign that she was finally able to return to her normal life. Coatleque has not seen her friend F'Lierre since that night, and wants to assume she was able to return to her tribe in peace.
