Louisa Mebbin
Loona Bimberton is an attention-seeking London socialite whose sole purpose in the story is to act as a foil to Mrs. Packletide’s jealous behaviors. After undertaking flight with an Algerian aviator, Bimberton is supremely jealous when Mrs. Packletide steals her limelight by supposedly shooting a tiger in India. Bimberton politely writes an insincere thank you note after receiving Mrs. Packletide’s obnoxious gift of a tiger-claw brooch. However, Bimberton cannot bring herself to also attend the lunch party where Mrs. Packletide proudly displays the tiger-skin—her jealous personality cannot endure witnessing Mrs. Packletide’s social coup.
