LONGER CAPTION HERE

adeleta - master of the keys and the senior of her coworkers. shes worked in the palazzo since edelweiss was its sole mentally unstable inhabitant, and isnt thrilled that the new master is edelweiss' even worse daughter. sour and grumpy, adeleta feels that her job, which would otherwise be considered a high honor, has reached a dead end. she spends her days summoning nencia to launder ruined clothing and dodging chalices thrown at her head by orchidee. eventually, when seelie bites her throat out, orchidee conspires to hide the body to prevent seelie from being returned to death

pomona - the turcos are an offshoot branch of the ruling family of lafossa. since her family gained control of the state centuries ago, theyve enacted a practice of employing their young children among houses of influence. they serve as the eyes and ears of the crown. pomona takes her job fairly lightly. she finds the intrigue and drama of palazzo orchidee to be fun, but not fun enough that she wont join in the collective wretching over orchidees sordid relationship with her wanpyr. pomona is formally tasked with kitchen duties, but is often banished to easier tasks due to incompetence

nencia - laundress and picker-upper of adeletas slack, nencia is a woman of few words. brought onto staff during edelweiss' decline, she enters a tentative alliance with adeleta that never becomes true friendship, but she is nonetheless disturbed and hunts for answers when adeleta goes missing. of the three, nencia is most capable of turning her brain off while working
