Miner's Wife

A practical miner’s wife hardened by years of labor in the Killingworth pits. Her voice carries the rough authority of someone unaccustomed to deference, dismissing even Lord Ravensworth’s concern with blunt pragmatism. Her first allegiance is to the miners’ safety, a priority that curdles into indignation when Peri suggests missing workers may have turned Luddite. The Rani’s chemical manipulation hasn’t yet reached her, but her suspicion of change—whether it wears the face of revolution or absentee lordship—runs deeper than any fear of rogue machines.
