Character Notes:

• "Early to bed, early to rise..." is basically her motto
• Wrote a sociological analysis of heightism titled "Short Tempers"
• She has a pair of poorly-trained geese (a Canada Goose named Samson and a Barnacle Goose named Delilah) that routinely wreck her house and yard.
• She collects antiques and porcelain dolls, though her geese are a bit hard on her collection.
• The parts of her house not occupied by antiques and/or dolls are mostly filled with books and sports paraphernalia.
• She takes "healthy living" very seriously. Maybe a little... too seriously. She has a habit of forcing her health food and exercise regimen on everyone who enters her house.
• She and her husband own a motorboat, which she loves to drive around the nearby lake. She has one boating speed: FAST! Her family dreads her taking the wheel.
• She loves to run marathons! She also does the occasional triathlon (which roller skating instead of biking because... cats), but she's not a fan of swimming so she doesn't enjoy those as much.
• She's as competitive in academia as she is in athletics, and she's a very sore loser in both.
• If you tell her she can't do something because she's too short, she WILL fight you.
