Pom

Pom is Mem's new assistant laundress.
According to Mem, women like Pom didn't usually end up as washgirls.
While Pom dallies once she and Mem are inside Mraize's home, she then freezes in the doorway to his den.
She then destroys one of Mraize's paintings,* ripping through it with a knife, declaring that she'd been looking for it.
When Mraize appears, Pom narrows her eyes at him and pushes him aside. When he tells her that he knows where Talenelat is, she freezes.
Further, he tells her that his babsk (i.e., Iyatil) has been eager to speak with her.
==Appearance==
She is a dark-skinned woman of mixed blood, both Easterner and Westerner, whom Mem thinks is gorgeous.
==Characteristics==
Pom tends to stare daggers at any man who gets too close to her.
Mraize refers to her as "Ancient One."**
==Notes==
* According to Mraize, the painting was a masterpiece of the Oilsworn.
**Pom is actually Shalash.
