== Attributes and Abilities ==
Himalaya was trained as one of the [[Wardens of the Standard]], the best sorters in all the world.{{book ref|a3|17}} She is able to sort and organize things with superhuman speed and ability, without even looking at them, sometimes without even touching them (for example, touching the top of a whole stack of books causes the entire stack to sort itself in the order she wants).
After marrying Folsom Smedry she gains his Talent: she can dance really poorly. The talent engages when she hears music. The poor dancing most often appears to take the form of violent and powerful fighting.
== History ==
Himalaya is introduced as a former Warden of the Standard who has defected to the side of the Free Kingdoms. She is being watched by Folsom Smedry, and it is at first assumed that this is because he still does not trust her. She tries very hard to be a reformed Librarian, even going so far as to refuse to organize or sort things because she is told that that is how to become a good guy. Eventually, however, her talents as a Warden of the Standard become important to defeating [[Shasta_Smedry | Shasta Smedry]], [[Alcatraz]]'s mother. After this, she comes to the realization that it is possible to be both a Librarian and a good person, calling herself a good Librarian.
Later, after discovering that the reason that Folsom had been spending so much time with her was because he was in love with her, the two marry in order to escape from capture by Shasta and other Librarians. She gains Folsom's Talent to dance really poorly, which usually takes the form of talented and aggressive fighting, and this allows them to free themselves.
Following the events of The Knights of Crystallia, Himalaya and Folsom resolve to go back to the Hushlands and "distribute pamphlets" to teach other Librarians how not to be evil.{{book ref|a3|Royal Epilogue (Not A Chapter)}} This venture turns out to be successful, as when [[Kazan_Smedry | Kaz]], [[Leavenworth_Smedry | Grandpa]], Dif, and Alcatraz, go to Washington, D.C. in search of the [[Highbrary]] and [[Attica_Smedry | Alcatraz's father, Attica]], they discover Himalaya, Folsom, and many other Librarians behind a barricade, trying to help them. These Librarians are apparently all Librarians that have been recruited by Himalaya to join the Free Kingdom's cause, and they assist Alcatraz in sneaking into the Highbrary and fighting off the other Librarians.{{book ref|a5|Frog}}
