* [[Cool Old Lady]]: In the sequel to ''Mairelon the Magician'', Mairelon's mother is, as the back-cover blurb (accurately!) states, "charmingly eccentric." His father's sister is '''also''' cool, although it takes longer to show, because she's "formidably correct," which comes out as [[British Stuffiness|stuffiness]] with a touch of [[Mean Brit]]. When facing a real crisis, though, she's basically unflappable, practical, and quite clever. Her Crowning Moment of Awesome comes when, {{spoiler|realizing a certain spell will only harm wizards — which she '''isn't''' — she doesn't hesitate to act as a human shield for}} the wizard she's with. The very '''formal''' way she tells off the bad guy is hilariously awesome, too. |
