A short, pale-faced woman with sharp eyes and unremarkable features. She was a student and later a teacher at Lowood School for two years before resigning after her mentor Miss Temple left. She is educated, capable of teaching reading, arithmetic, etiquette, French, and music. She recently took a teaching position at Arna's factory for twenty children at ten shillings a week. She values independence and has a farewell embroidery piece inscribed with 'I am no bird, and no net ensnares me.'
