Minemistress

The Minemistress is the manager of a gold mining corporation that operates out of the Disaster Desert. In Assassin of Steve 3: Endergeddon, she appears in Mission 8 as an enemy, but then as an ally in Mission 9, where she helps the player escape the Yellow Ender Captain's forces. She is a zombie pigman wearing a mining helmet and gold and iron armor, and wields two golden pickaxes.

## Biography

The Minemistress was presumably once a Tribal Snout, and a part of the Great Pigman Revolution, as her and her brother, the Minemaster, both ended up in the Frozen Wasteland together. They ended up forming a mining operation where the Minemaster would recruit monsters and the Minemistress would plan out where they would mine, being the smarter of the two. One day, much to the Minemaster's dismay, she left to go to the Disaster Desert where she started her own Mining Corporation to compete with her brother's. The Minemaster desperately wanted the Minemistress to come back, but she never did, showing a clear dislike for her brother.

When the player arrives at her mines in Assassin of Steve 3 for information on the Distorted Caves, she tries to stop them. She eventually lets them in but then gets scared when she realizes that the player killed her brother. She then drops the player into a cavern where they must fight her pet Bedrock Serpent. After it is defeated, she lets the player talk to her, and later admits that she is glad they killed her brother, as it cut down on competition. After she tells them how to get to the Distorted Caves, they are attacked by the Yellow Ender Captain, so she subequently helps the player escape the underground through some abandoned mines filled with lava. Once the Yellow Ender Captain is defeated and the player arrives at the Uivvah Pyramid, she leaves to return to her mines.

## Characterisation

The Minemistress is a both friendly, but sometimes cruel character who doesn't like to mess around. She's also a very smart character, showing interest in mythical places such as the Distorted Caves, and in biology. She has a great dislike for her brother, often insulting him and not really caring much about his death even. She calls him stupid many times and it's unknown why she suddenly left his mines. She seems to care about her workers, including being in love with one of her Gold Miners based on her reply to the Minemaster's letter, but doesn't hesitate to send them into battle to stop intruders.

### Bedrock Serpent

*Main article: Bedrock Serpent*

The Minemistress owns a pet Bedrock Serpent, a large creature that lives below the bedrock layer. She captured it by feeding it TNT, which knocked it out. She later uses it to fight the player. She has lots of knowledge on the biology of the Bedrock Serpent, telling the player about how it hunts its prey. She seems to have gotten the Bedrock Serpent only so that she could outdo her brother, who has a giant spider, named Aracold. When she sends the player down to fight the serpent, it attacks first by piercing the ground and chasing the player, and in its second phase brings it's entire body out of the ground in an attempt to eat the player. After the serpent is hurt enough though, the Minemistress lets the player leave the cavern and speak with her.

## Trivia

* The Minemistress's head model recreates the head of a zombie pigman and has a mining helmet placed on top. The helmet is the same as the helmets worn by Dwarf Miners and Deathonator, but with different textures.
* Her golden pickaxes breaking at the beginning of Mission 9 is a reference to the absurdly low durability of golden pickaxes in vanilla Minecraft.
* It is unknown if the Gold Miner that the Minemistress is in love with was one of the ones that the player kills in Mission 8, or the one waiting at the entrance to her mines, or if he is unseen.
