Alice Schumacher

Middle-aged woman, resident of Harrisburg and sister to Albert Penny, the city's Magistrate. Schumacher is an important, and impressive, woman in her own right. A no-nonsense kind of person, she clearly has the stuff for leadership, but hasn't taken the reins. Instead, she seems happy to guide things from behind the scenes.

Your safe return of her daughter Lynn impressed her, something you sense doesn't happen often. Currently she has asked you to help her with a few tasks, and in return she has given you a place to stay as well as a weekly stipend in Harrisburg trade notes.

Physical Description
Alice Schumacher is short and thin, with her graying hair always bound up in a bun. The lines of her face are severe, and her eyes are calculating. She rarely acts charming or maternal, even with her daughter. She favors dresses of conservative cut and sober color.

History
You don't know much about Schumacher, where she comes from, or how she came to Harrisburg. No doubt she played some part in its resettlement 11 years ago. She is married to Edward Schumacher, a merchant, and has a daughter, Lynn.

Known and Supposed Capabilities
