!!Penthesilea's mother

* {{Jerkass}}: She's rude, arrogant, condescending, demeaning towards her daughter, and everyone else for that matter.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Faced with a choice between saving Lord Darkness or taking her from the underworld, and therefore having to put up with her attitude constantly, the Questers decide to save Darkness. Penthesilea is momentarily sad about it... and then never brings it up again.
* MissingMom: On account of having been dead for decades.
* NoNameGiven: She's just Penthesilea's mother.
* TheUpperCrass: Looks down on Sam for being a pleb. Also, flirting with her, which she finds both disgusting and pathetic, but mainly being common.
