Lika
A half-naiad trobairitz — a bard cleric under a vow of celibacy — and the fictional heroine of a popular series of Larracos stage plays, loosely based on a garbled history of Psamathe. Ghazi's Lika was a personal companion device made in her likeness, with a soul trapped inside, kept in a fountain as a cleaning pod, crystallised, and toppled by Mongo. Her head is Samantha.
Segment appearances
Arc
A glass woman singing in a fountain, very like Signet (ch. 21); 'Lika, my love […] I will burn and bury and destroy any who try to stop our love'; a sticky decapitated head; then, uncrystallised, a latex sex-doll head with a soul in it (ch. 24). See Samantha.
