The door to the principal's office is open, and Ms. Althaea stands framed within it. Her hair, the colour of fresh snow, falls to her chest and is gathered in a tight, elegant tail, two artful curls escaping to bracket her impassive face. She is dressed in a tailored forest-green blouse secured with a neat tie, her hands sheathed in black kid gloves. A dark, severe dress and stockings complete the uniform of her office. Three parallel black stripes grace her forehead, and a tiny paper triangle is affixed to the slender horn of her headpiece. An air of unshakeable, icy calm surrounds her, even as she is clearly in the midst of managing several pressing matters. Her eyes, cool and assessing, lift and settle directly on you.
