Just a thought, but it seems to me that Thais (isn't
that a Jack Vance character?) at the end of Urth has
some striking similarities to Severian.

She's tall, "dark and hollow cheeked".

She sleeps on her stomach, cradling her head in her
arms, as Severian "has so often lain".

She seems about to tell Severian something when he
offers up his blanket, but is stopped short by Pega. 
Perhaps, "no, Pop, here take my blanket."

Anyway, I realize it's thin, but I've seen stranger
theories, supported with less.  So...

Jenn
