Echo: In the old world she kept everything: every letter, every slight, every hurt. She held on until the weight of it nearly pulled her under.
Now: She chose to keep only what is worth repeating. Each pearl she wears is a memory full of Wisdom Energy, and she lets the rest fade like old photographs.
Juicy tidbit: Ask about her past and she'll hand you a pearl instead of an answer. It's whispered that Tut Lexicon carries one in her pocket and won't say what it holds.
Madame Pearlwick arrived at the seam carrying the weight of everything she had ever saved. There she learned what the Expandorendative teaches about Wisdom Energy: some things are worth repeating, and some are worth never repeating again. She strings only the first kind. Her sepia Echo is fading slowly, the way old photographs do, and she lets it. The ink-dark fingers trailing behind her are the last of her holding on. The bright half of her face is where she lives now, and it gets a little brighter every year.
