Fleetfoot is Aelin Galathynius' dog, gifted to her by Dorian Havilliard.
Biography[]
Fleetfoot was given as a Yulemas gift from Prince Dorian to Celaena.[1] Princess Nehemia Ytger often looked after her. Fleetfoot would most likely have been put down if Dorian hadn't gifted her to Celaena.
The dog would have been killed, but Celaena begged Dorian to spare her, and he agreed to try to find a home for her. Celaena was surprised that Dorian was showing mercy and kindness to Fleetfoot and was happy. When he couldn't find a home for her, he gave her to Celaena as a Yulemas gift, along with three pounds of candy.
Crown of Midnight[]
Fleetfoot defends Celaena against the demons trying to enter through the portal, earning a scratch along her hindleg. Chaol attempts to hold off the demon, as Dorian tries to remove Celaena from the chamber, who struggles against him to get to Fleetfoot. The demon sees Fleetfoot huddled in the corner and injured, and drags her through the portal. Chaol and Celaena both enter through the portal to rescue her, causing Celaena to reveal her true nature. Chaol carries Fleetfoot back across the portal. Fleetfoot is attended to by a healer, and makes a full recovery. Celaena has to leave her behind to travel to Wendlyn, entrusting her to the care of Dorian.
Heir of Fire[]
When Celaena is in Wendlyn, Dorian looks after Fleetfoot. Fleetfoot frequently sleeps in Dorian's bed. When Dorian reveals his magic to the King of Adarlan, Chaol escapes, taking Fleetfoot with him.
Queen of Shadows[]
Celaena, now Aelin, and Fleetfoot are reunited when Rowan is taken to a country home in Oakwald Forest to be patched up by a midwife.
Empire of Storms[]
Fleetfoot is left in Terrasen with Evangeline and Murtaugh Allsbrook.
Kingdom of Ash[]
Fleetfoot appears in last chapter laying on her bed in Aelin and Rowan's room.
Personality[]
Fleetfoot is quite cautious of strangers and does not like to be touched or stroked by anyone other than Aelin. Fleetfoot is also good friends with Evangeline and enjoyed playing with Nehemia before she was killed.
Physical description[]
Fleetfoot is a big dog with golden fur and bright eyes. She is first described as slightly larger than the others, with a silky, silvery gold coat; and a purebred appearance despite her mixed heritage. She is later depicted with a slender snout, a more pronounced gold coat, folded velvet-soft ears, and golden-brown eyes that reminded Celaena/Aelin of molten caramel. She is also described as having huge paws hinting that she will grow large and swift during the time of Dorian's gifting.
