The Criada or Handmaidens are the personal servants to the Priestesses. They are not officials of the religion although they follow it. They have a similar hierarchy based on colours.

They are principally involved in the day-to-day running of cregans and the land outside. The Priestesses make the decisions, but the Handmaidens ensure those decisions are carried out.

Titles

Handmaidens are addressed by all lower status individuals (including lower-ranked Handmaidens) by the title "Doncella". When using their name, they are called "Doncella Laritza" or their rank "Criada Velada Laritza". They are never addressed by their name alone, even by Priestesses; the most they might do is called her "Criada Laritza".

Handmaidens always have names of three syllables or more.
