Sunny’s Grandmother/Ozoemena
Chichi lives with her mother in a mud hut next door to Orlu’s house. Many people in the neighborhood think Chichi’s mother is a witch, but Chichi’s mother is actually a magical Leopard Person and a Nimm princess (a Leopard Person who cannot marry and is spiritually bound to a goddess called Nimm). She spends most of her time reading and studying to pass her next level, and her hut is filled almost entirely with books.

But here was Chichi’s mother, surrounded by the hundreds of books she’d read, living in a decrepit old mud hut with her daughter.
