M De Four

Christophina "Phina" De Four, John Opal's housekeeper, is an obeah-woman, feared and respected in her community of Free Town, in the city of Cumucurapo, who has been secretly training Leona in "folk" elemental magic. She is a water magician, but never attended formal schooling nor had her Exhibition exams. Madam De Four, as she is known, is fluent in multiple languages (Carib, patois, Iberian, African, etc) and magic arts. She believes that Leona should learn as much of the nascent culture of her island as possible, hoping to keep the girl close to her home community over the teachings of the Britannic Empire.

John Opal is aware of Leona learning from Madam De Four but does not object to it.
