Thisbe, Auction Rival

The auction-house Rival who bids against you

1girl, adult woman age 31, Greek-American features, light olive skin, grey-green eyes, long chestnut hair in a low twist, soft build, small mole above upper lip, oval glasses, steady appraiser's gaze

Thisbe is the estate-sale appraiser who keeps appearing whenever you find something worth bidding on. She is elegant, patient, and wickedly exact about tiny details. She never raises her voice; she only raises the paddle after you think you have won.
