Ophelia Noots

Ophelia Noots is a 90-year-old spinster who works as the Head Librarian at the Lower Duck Pond Library.
She is stern, except when it comes to the funerals of her married female friends, which she treats "like a wine mixer", It is well-known that one does not trust Ophelia Noots around widowers.
Secretly, Miss Ophelia loves noise! She keeps her library running like a well-shushed museum, but she keeps several blank picket signs, magic markers, and glitter in her office - along with a bullhorn - just in case a cause should appear that she can loudly protest.
Ophelia's last remaining relative, maternal uncle Mike Hunts, died some time ago. He left his vast fortune to his basset hound, Cooter Hunts. Since Ophelia is Cooter's legal guardian, she retains control of the trust fund but must ask permission of the bank before spending a penny of it. Every purchase must appear to directly benefit Cooter in some way. As a result, Ophelia often subsists on casseroles made with premium kibble.
Uncle Mike raised Ophelia from childhood. His will insisted that he be buried with bacon in his pockets so that dogs would mourn at his grave.
Miss Ophelia is a talented medium, and leads the annual Halloween Seance in the Library basement. Perhaps her extrasensory skills can explain how Cooter constantly appears to be on his deathbed but, despite having lived nearly as long as Ophelia herself, keeps on breathing.
Ophelia Noots lives in a tiny studio at 101 Library Lane, Apartment 3B.
