Mrs. White (2002)

## Source

**Mrs. Blanche White** is the housekeeper and cook of Tudor Mansion, and was formerly the nanny for her current employer Mr. John Boddy. For most of her life, she has dedicated her life to looking after others, raising her siblings after the deaths of their parents at age sixteen. Before arriving at Tudor Mansion, White worked for many high-profile families, where her discretion was her most valuable asset second to her domestic skills. For all her years of dedicated service, Mrs. White has received little to show for it.

## Profile

### Appearance

Mrs. White is an elderly woman with short white hair and hazel eyes. She wears a long black dress with a white apron. She carries a silver platter and a set of keys in her hands.

### Personality and traits

Mrs. White is efficient and polite. White has dedicated her life to looking after others and grew up quickly after the deaths of her parents. White resents any disruption to she routine and likes everything to be done her way. White’s caring nature means that others feel that can take advantage of her, but she considers herself accommodating—she won’t be made a fool! Her life experience has made her suspicious of some and is never afraid to speak her mind out of them.

In *Cluedo Party*, Mrs. White is stated to speak in a "working-class, no-nonsense" accent and tone, with her mannerisms being "beaming at those around you and dusting everything you see". It also states that due to her life experience, Mrs. White is very suspicious of people, especially Miss Scarlet.

## Biography

For the original biography, see Clue Style Guide § Mrs. Blanche White.

Born as Blanche Chaulkley, she was the eldest of four children. When her parents died when she was sixteen, Blanche took it upon herself to take care of her siblings. Once the youngest reached the age of majority, Blanche moved to England in search of work.

Before arriving at Tudor Mansion in 1892, Blanche worked as a maid for numerous high-profile families, where her discretion was her most valuable trade compared to her actual domestic skills. Some time after being hired by Hugh Black, Blanche married the chauffeur, Winslow White. They were married for a considerable amount of years, until his unfortunate death in 1903 after eating his birthday meal prepared by his beloved wife.

The following year, Sir Hugh’s orphaned nephew John Boddy came to live at Tudor Mansion. She was given the additional task of serving as John’s nurse (with no increase in payment). Yet, she met the challenge with efficiency and patience. According to Mrs. Jane Meadow-Brook, the gossipy wife of the family solicitor Miles Meadow-Brook, there have been rumors of a possible romantic link between Mrs. White and Sir Hugh. This is unlikely, however, due to Mrs. White scarcely hid her dislike of her former employer during his final years.

Once Sir Hugh passed away in 1914, John became the new master of the estate, and kept her as one of the few servants left. Mrs. White still continues her domestic responsibilities, with little—if any—to show for it.
