Physical Description

Body Features

Parthena is a broad, middle-aged woman with a wide smile and expressive eyes. She smells overwhelmingly of camphor and sugar.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The opinionated Dame Mistress Crabbe deals with her unresolved grief of her late husband’s passing by investing herself in everyone else’s lives. Her latest obsession is finding a suitor for her daughter Sepsinia. Sepsinia is quiet and pale. She stares silently or mumbles if approached without her mother present.   The Hamlet of Moost grew up around the adjacent Crabbe Estate, which is the abode of Dame Parthena Crabbe. Moost is famous for hosting the largest and nicest coaching house along the Northern Cassomir Highway, while the Crabbes run a successful conservatory tutoring young musicians and dancers. In recent years, however, the number of students they’ve taken has dwindled. The business screeched to a halt when Borragrame Crabbe, Parthena’s husband, died of cancer, and grief limited his widow’s interest in teaching. Now, the dame spends most of her time obsessively searching for a suitor for her recently come-of-age daughter, Sepsinia Crabbe, though the young woman seems withdrawn and uninterested in her overbearing mother’s plans after her last suitor's tragic suicide.

Personality Characteristics

Hygiene

Parthena isn’t one for introspection, preferring to know everyone else’s mind. She is the embodiment of Taldan aristocratic hypocrisy—she eats, moves, and even sleeps correctly, but without any consideration for why. Beyond her interest in local and national gossip, she loves discussing art, antiques, and fashion.
