“You Know What He Was Meant To Be”
Conspiracy Theorist:
Dead Beat page 352 Harry is confronted on the stairs by Kumori and summises that she wears a hood because she might recognise him because she is on the White Council. Harry would indeed recognise her, if she is Sarissa she is Maeves identical twin sister, and of course Maeve is publicly known to Harry from Summer Knight, meaning she knows she needs the disguise from Harry and the wider world, which is why it was adopted in Grave Peril in the first place. She is Winter and her Mother is currently holding Leas obligation to Harry, which she isn’t going to disrupt, so no she isn’t going to kill Harry. Kumori can do a veil (a Fae strong suit) despite not being especially powerful. Harry knows bugger all women on the Whire Council except Martha Liberty and Luccio who is Edinburgh at this point in the narrative.
Kumori appears to show professional interest in Harry’s fire damaged hand which means that Kumori is one of the recurring medical professionals in the series, Butters, Lamar, LTW or Sarissa.

I think you are a little confused, neither Sarissa nor Maeve were ever on the White Council, that is for wizards only. It may or may not be significant that Kumori showed interest in Harry's burnt hand, I don't think she treated or suggested therapy for it.

I think "because he might recognise her" is a good hypothesis... but WC doesn't necessarily follow. The easy explanation is the "Darth Wannabe Fashion Trend;" Cowl himself adopts it. But Jim has made enough of a fuss about the hooded ID's that I expect it *is* a thing, not just a requirement of being in the Ominous & Mysterious Club.

Not necessarily. Harry didn't twig to Sarissa/Maeve for a long period of working closely with Sarissa, even when they were side-by-side. She may have *thought* she needed to hide?
But honestly I doubt that. The Mantle itself seems to obscure the human identity, rendering the bearer a more-vivid and slightly-inhuman being. Harry is actually a rather-keen observer, and it took him a LONG time to discern the similarity. I presume the effect is well-known to Sarissa by this time.
But Kumori *cannot* be Sarissa.
Kumori has magic: regular mortal-wizard magic. And we know from Cold Days -- where she was Harry's physical therapist -- that Harry detects no practitioner-aura when they have skin-contact.

- no she isn’t going to kill Harry
- Kumori can do a veil (a Fae strong suit)
- despite not being especially powerful
- Harry knows bugger all women on the Whire Council ...
- Kumori appears to show professional interest in Harry’s fire damaged hand ...

All of these points seem to point equally to Molly!
Conspiracy Theorist:
I had thought of that, Thorn Manacles or power burnout from the Darkhallow collapse would remove a mortal practioners aura, and she isn’t strictly mortal, she’s a Changeling. If she chose human perhaps, yes, Fae definitely not.
Proven Guilty the Rear ending by the old Chrysler. Could Nameless in Chicago for a conflab with Peabody following the execution have just run across Harry and let his annoyance with Harry finally get the better of him. A old Chrysler and it’s steel body would shield Nameless from Mab Peabody would have been there because paperwork, and they were to set into movement the scheme to murder the current warden of Demonreach and install Peabody in the role. To do that he needs to get Peabody to the island quickly, and needs to scout a possible route from Arctis Tor from the Never Never, hence the attack to free Lea to cover his tracks.

(1) whatever Kumori did generated significant cold, forming ice which is indicative of Winter.
--- End quote ---
Possibly, but be aware of the flip side of the coin - she may have been drawing HEAT from her surroundings, like Harry did to make the fetch slip. Harry took heat from the water... which left ice behind. She may not have emanated cold at all.
Jim would love to divert you with such niceties.
