Simony Kedar (Mrs. Kedar) is a sharply groomed, straight-backed Whitescale woman whose poise is matched only by her cutting tongue. Raised with strict values, Simony prizes decorum, achievement, and social standing, shaping her household with firm expectations. Though often frosty, she is fiercely protective of her son, Tedi, determined to secure him every advantage - even if her bluntness and rigid ideals strain their relationship.
