''Wanted For: Arson, theft of a goose, espionage, releasing dangerous livestock in a public place, abetting the escape of felons. Is also suspected of blasphemy, sedition, treason, and the reading of illegal and nefarious books.''

Mosca Mye is a literate orphan and the protagonist of Fly By Night and Twilight Robbery, or Fly Trap. Her defining characteristics include black eyes, a pointed nose, and practically nonexistent eyebrows. She wears knee breeches under her skirts. She can usually be seen chewing on a pipe, which helps her think.

She is the daughter of the disgraced author Quillam Mye and was consequently raised in the town of Chough, where he spent his exile. She was born on the day of Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies Out of Jams and Butter Churns, and one of the Beloved. Consequently she is a 'Fly Child,' and is assumed by most to be both very cunning and very underhanded.

Mosca has a pet goose, Saracen, and is currently in the employ of a conman named Eponymous Clent, since abandoning her village and setting him free.

In the time since her escape, she has aided in rebellions and upheavals of the strangest nature. She caused havoc in the capital city of Mandelion, and most of its surrounding towns. In the divided town of Toll she ended the strict regime of the Locksmiths and the segregation of people by name.

She is of... interest to the guild of Locksmiths.
