Mrs. Markham

Mrs. Markham is a character from the CBS Storybreak episode "Witch-Cat". 
== About Mrs. Markham ==
Mrs. Markham is the wife of Mr. Markham and mother of Gwen, Jason, and Deedee Markham. She is a slender, Caucasian woman with black eyes and shoulder-length brown hair with parted bangs. She wears a turquoise shirt with folded collar and mid-length sleeves with cuffs; electric purple pants; teal shoes; and sometimes an Aegean blue jacket with a horizontal strap in the lower back of it and two buttons far apart from each other. She's motherly and wise.
After Gwen meets Rosetta, she asks her parents if she can keep her. Before Mrs. Markham can finish answering, Mr. Markham says not if Rosetta belongs to someone else. Gwen checks Rosetta's collar and sees her name but no address. Since there's no address, Gwen's parents let her keep Rosetta. Gwen's siblings come to see the new pet and family member, and they're excited. But the Scottish terrier, Dinki, doesn't feel the same. Mr. Markham wonders what's gotten into him and Mrs. Markham says that he's usually very friendly, as this isn't like him.
Later, Mrs. Markham goes out as Gwen's babysitter Susannah arrives to look after Gwen and her friends. Mrs. Markham tells Susannah she'll return at six in the evening. Another evening, when Rosetta goes missing, she asks her mom if she's seen her. She says she hasn't, but she's sure Rosetta will return. On Halloween night, she meets a group of trick-or-treaters at the door and gives out their treats.
Another day, after returning from the library, Gwen shows her parents an encyclopedia article featuring a picture of a cat who looks like Rosetta, coming to the conclusion that Rosetta must not be ordinary, as she must have enchanted powers and that, in turn, Gwen is a witch. After Gwen puts her own magical abilities to the test by making the dishes wash by themselves, she proves it, but accidentally shatters them. Gwen is unhappy about being a witch, due to witches' reputation for being ugly and evil. But Mrs. Markham tells her she shouldn't be so afraid of her gift, as she is special and it is a blessing. She says there is nothing to worry about; as long as she uses her powers wisely, she'll be just fine. Gwen considers taking her mom's advice, but says she needs to think about it.
