Abet is the consummate politician. Which is why she has been the mayor of Darknook for 20 years.

Abet is a career politician whose smooth skills at "working the room" are probably wasted on a little forest village. But that is the way of Dorwine, there are very few places where people of humble birth can rise to any positions of responsibility and so she has made the most of the peculiar quirk that sees Darknook have a democratically elected mayor.
 
She was first elected mayor in 4572 after serving as the proprietor of the Darknook General Store.
 
Currently she is running for re-election again and was to be running against Bali until he fled the village after his nefarious schemes were uncoovered.
