Glenda Sugarbean

Queen of the Night Kitchen in Unseen Academicals. A doozy with a pie, but even better with a metaphysical hammer…

She is quite motherly and strives to always be in control, regularly doing other people’s thinking for them. Not only does she look after her friend Juliet, but Glenda also takes care of her elderly neighbours. She is always standing up for the little guy, which is often Mr. Nutt.

She secretly reads trashy romance novels by Iradne Comb-Buttworthy; a guilty pleasure, despite her realization they all have basically the same plot. In the end she has graciously relinquished her hold over Juliet’s life and is romantically involved with Nutt, planning to ride off with him to Quirm.

Glenda sleeps in an ancient iron bed.*

That is to say Glenda officially sleeps in the old iron bedstead; in reality most of her sleeping is done in a huge and ancient armchair in the Night Kitchen, where she has very nearly mastered the art of doing without proper sleep altogether. So many crumbs, spoons, bits of pie dough, books and spilt drinks have gone down the side of the cushions of that chair that it might well now harbour a small, thriving civilization.Unseen Academicals, p. 16
satisfaction on Glenda's part that she was wearing her biggest and most impenetrable pants.*

This was slightly modified when she realized that none of the spectators had tried any hanky panky whatsoever.Unseen Academicals, p. 491
