Description: This younger middle-aged woman tends to wear a large blue jacket, and a wedding ring on her left hand. Her white hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. She has gleaming, smiling hazel eyes.

Personality: She resents people who mock her appearance or her, so she has learned to be the meanest son of a gun. She does not regard money as being a problem because it has never been a problem for her. She lives in a bit of an ivory tower believing all problems are one quick intervention away from being solved.

History: She comes from a rich western family. She made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front. During her travels, Abalaba and her party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Abalaba discovered the rest of her party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Abalaba fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing her own horrible transformation.
