Ophelia
Ophelia drifts away more than swans, but they linger on the peripherals of the gathered group like a friendly ghost. Memorizing names, faces, commands. This will surely be a long and grueling event, and Ophelia is grateful anew for their inability to feel truly fatigued. There will be no pulled muscles or sprains to follow them into their sleep as might have happened in their previous life.
A lot of words boil down to “pick a spot”, so Ophelia tunes out the fluff and focuses on exactly that. They wander away to survey the land, using their eye - well-trained from a lifetime as a homesteading farmer - to determine the best spots. Returning, they deposit their information like an eager dog. “The southwest bank has good soil grading and fertility. Best for planting, but good for a home too - it won’t flood or sag under the construction weight.” Awaiting input before taking on the task of the trenches and lumber.

Ophelia stakes out a good potential spot and brings the information back.

it's peaceful in the deep, either way you cannot breathe
no need to pray - no need to speak
