- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 1
The Aunt brings a small, ceremonious presence to the room, her cap’s oversized ribbons lending a touch of quaint color. She speaks of health with the earnestness of someone for whom family well-being and the well-being of the court belong in the same breath.

The Aunt appears as a little old lady who speaks about health and Her Majesty’s health. The novel offers her as a brief, background presence rather than a character with a developed arc. Her memorable image is carried by the large ribbon bows on her cap and her concern for matters of health.
Description
The Aunt is a little, elderly woman, her slight stature and age giving her a delicate, old-fashioned appearance. The clearest detail of her dress is a cap decorated with large bows of ribbon, conspicuous against the restrained fashions of the period. Her face and coloring are not described, so those details should remain open. She carries herself with the prim, attentive air of someone accustomed to speaking about health and propriety.
