Brenda
Brenda was a woman who was made up of various bits and pieces of human bodies stitched together. She had no surname. Brenda had a long life, but not a very good memory, meaning she had some trouble remembering much beyond her recent history. (PROSE: Fellowship of the Ink)
History
In the 1890s, Brenda performed in Diodati's Circus as "The Discombobulated Lady". Each night, she would pull herself to pieces in front of a live audience to the rhythm of a "sensuous dance". When the Circus visited Paris, Brenda has an adventure involving hunchbacks, Phantoms, and undead in the catacombs. She ran away form the circus with Joseph Merrick while they were touring in northern England.
In the 1930s, Brenda was Reginald Tyler's maid in Darkholmes. She helped Tyler and Henry Cleavis during the hubbub that arose when the Very Fabric of Time and Space wore a bit thin. (PROSE: Fellowship of the Ink)
On May Day 1972, Brenda went to Iris Wildthyme's party at Hobbe's End with Effie. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love)
