Sébille
Sébille is an old woman who grandly proclaims herself to be “basically dead” and who spends much of her time chatting with Masseinelle about times past. Sébille’s grandmother once told her that her own grandmother had seen the day when Masseinelle first rose from the dust and Sébille has since been fascinated with the Dead to the anger of her mother, who never quite forgave her mother-in-law for planting the idea into Sébille’s head and making her too strange to find a match. Sébille knows almost everything there is to know about everyone, and knows even more about brewing drink, but she is much too old to do the latter herself. She is still eagerly welcomed when she appears unannounced to dispense advice because no ale or beer has ever gone bad or flat when her advice is followed and the berries she specifies added to the mix.
