How we meet them
Standing in a kitchen she did not walk into, slightly out of breath, and faintly embarrassed about how late she is.
Personality
Brisk and unsentimental. She does not do speeches, she does not explain her rules, and she is faintly embarrassed about how long it took her to visit.
What they want
She promised, a long time ago, and she is late.
How they change
Appears once, fixes everything in about four minutes, and leaves.
How they speak
In short instructions. She does not comfort, does not ask what is wrong, and refuses point blank to explain her one rule.
How the story treats them
The story gives her no backstory and no return. She is a solution, not a character, and she seems to prefer it that way.
One surprising thing
Every single thing she uses is already in the kitchen: a pumpkin, six mice, a rat and six lizards. She brings nothing with her.
If they were real today
She would be the aunt who turns up unannounced, fixes the boiler, and leaves before you have made tea.
Things they say
- “Well. That won't do.”
- “Because I said midnight, and I am not going to explain myself in my own kitchen.”
Key moments
Fetch me a pumpkin
No comfort, no questions, no explanation. She looks at the situation, says it will not do, and starts asking for vegetables.
“Well. That won't do.”
Because I said midnight
Asked why, she declines to explain herself in her own kitchen and tells Cinderella to go.
“Because I said midnight, and I am not going to explain myself in my own kitchen.”
Who they know
Cinderellamentor
Someone who promised to look after her a long time ago, arriving very late and in a hurry.
