'''Ressa''' is a [Head Maid] in service of [[Magnolia Reinhart|Lady Magnolia Reinhart]].

==Appearance ==
Ressa is a tall woman dressed in a sombre black dress. She is beautiful, almost inhumanly so, but also stern and imposing, making her appear like the head matron or schoolmistress out of some old children’s book.<ref name="2.37">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/18/2-30/ Chapter 2.37]</ref>

She may pin her hair back.<ref name="6.27 M" />
== Personality==
Ressa carries a strict, professional demeanor at all times, whether it is admonishing her staff for doing their jobs improperly or taking out [Assassins] with throwing knives. She has a close relationship with Magnolia that goes beyond their [Maid]-[Lady] relationship, and is witness to her employer's various quirks and idiosyncrasies. She is highly protective of Magnolia and won't hesitate to use lethal force if necessary to protect her [Lady]. 

==Background==
At at one point in the past she was being called by a bunch of names, but none of them ever stuck perfectly. One of the was; '''The Unstoppable Woman''', after the time she was tossed off a mountain and climbed back up in the middle of a storm with a dagger in her teeth, and attacked an entire camp head on.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/12/9-53/ Chapter 9.53]</ref>
