Risa is a Sighted Mundane who has served Sona Carstairs—and now her family—since Sona was a teenager.
Biography[]
Risa was hired by the Jahanshah family when Sona Carstairs was a teen and has stayed with her as a lady's maid ever since.
In 1903, when the Carstairs family had to move to London, Risa was the only servant they did not fire and whom they brought along with them. Though she was their only help, Risa was not expected to clean or do the rough; she merely acted as their cook and to help Sona and her daughter, Cordelia, dress.[1]

Trivia[]
