Strict, stern, harsh, but providing the woman known to the children of her orphanage as the Mama Hush is known by the townsfolk through various other, unsavory titles, The Muttering Marm, the Whispering Woman, etc. This is due to her habit of talking in extremely soft tones, barely reaching a whisper. When asked why, she shrugs, and shambles away to her next chore.
She has run the Briartown Orphanage for more than 50 decades, during which few in town can remember seeing her age.
To the children of the orphanage she is strict, but fair guardian, always ensuring that their essential needs are met, but leaving little in the way of comfort
