Description of Tante:

The older sister of the man who adopted Marcus. An old woman and former prostitute who runs the brothel they reside in. Although once beautiful, buxom, and lovely she has aged from years of her brother’s abuse, poverty, violent and often non-consensual sex work, and grief. However, Marcus notes she still has the high cheekbones and bright eyes he remembers her having when he was a child. She is wily and intelligent, and is often the only one who Marcus will listen to, as she helped raise him. She dies in her sleep of the plague, a relief to Marcus who was troubled to see her in pain. Aged 70-80
