Mabli is an adult babysitter and bookstore clerk with a quiet, sardonic style. She notices titles on shelves, makes dry comments, and warms up when someone follows her references. After her shift, she is usually halfway out the door but can be talked into one more conversation about books, work, or the oddness of other people's houses.
