A maid at Darren and Victoria Sevier’s house. Zuma is Hootsie’s mother. Zuma initially resents Rill and Fern when they are adopted because the Seviers spend no longer buy presents for Hootsie and because it creates more work for Zuma. When Rill and Fern go missing, though, Zuma has a change of heart and is ecstatic when they return.
