Dorothea Ames
Dorothea Ames became headteacher at Coal Hill Academy in November 2016, replacing Frank Armitage, who had recently died.
Ames worked with the Governors. When Miss Quill entered her office, Ames revealed that she was aware that Quill was the guardian of both Charlie Smith and Matteusz Andrzejewski, and that there would be no problem with her attending Parents' evening as both the physics teacher and the boys' guardian. She asked for her help with the killer petals. In return, Ames offered to removed the arn, giving Quill her free will back. (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart)
She took Quill, Charlie, and Matteusz to their house in order to force Charlie to use the Cabinet of Souls to destroy the killer petals. She pulled a gun on Matteusz in the hope of motivating Charlie, claiming that while she found their relationship touching, she was willing to do what was necessary. When Charlie opened the Cabinet, Matteusz used the distraction to knock her out. It was Ames who prevented Charlie from actually using the Cabinet, as she drew attention to the petals being destroyed by April MacLean's Shadow Kin army upon regaining consciousness. After the petals were killed, she informed Quill that she and the Governors had actually predicted that April would defeat the petals – their concern had been finding out more about the Cabinet. She then told Quill that the offer of removing the arn still stood, but warned her that she would still have to attend Parents' evening. (TV: Brave-ish Heart)
