==Overview==
Mrs. Which is the oldest of the three celestial beings who accompany the children on their adventure. She has difficulty materializing and is usually just a shimmering gleam. Her unconventional speech is usually rendered in capitalized words, with the first consonants repeated several times.
==History==
Mrs. Which first appears at the end of Chapter 3. She is the wisest of, and the clear leader of the three women, and upon appearing, immediately demonstrates her vast knowledge of understanding in tesseract travel. Her distinguishing quirk is her long, drawn-out method of speech, symbolized by doubled and tripled consonants in her words. She is the one who usually provides the group, most especially Meg, with the clues the children need to solve the problems encountered during their travels.
