A calendar, also known as a strigaturpis or strig for short or a mynchen (Gott), is a female fighter who belongs to a clave, an all-female secret society typically organized around the ideals of philanthropy and social justice. They tend to focus on protecting the poor and less fortunate from monsters.
A notable clave that appears in the trilogy is the Right of the Pacific Dove, which is based in Herbroulesse. Threnody and Dolours are members of this clave, which is led by Threnody's mother, Syntychë.
Maiden-fraught is another term for calendar, thought it is also applied to fighting women in general.
