Mother Dust (real name Marion[1]) is a female peculiar with the peculiarity of having healing properties.
Biography[]
Pre-Series[]
Like Sharon, Mother Dust was an ambrosia addict saved by Myron Bentham. She afterwards became his healer.
Library of Souls[]
She first heals Jacob when he is first brought to Myron Bentham's house. She later heals the hollowgast caught by Jacob and Emma to power the Panloopticon, and cuts off her pinkie to give to Jacob and Emma before their journey to save their friends from the hollowgasts and wights. The only viable parts of her are her left eye and left hand.
Emma revealed to Jacob in a letter that Mother Dust had used her dust to keep Bentham's "wax models" of people (they were not really wax models at all) in suspended animation.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Her only visible body parts were her left eye and left hand. The rest was hidden beneath acres of fabric: shawls, scarves, a dress, and a bell-shaped hoop skirt. She is missing her right hand. She also, apparently, has no tongue.
Peculiarity[]
She has the ability to turn parts of her into dust and heal with it. However, as the dust is actually her, this power is limited. Aside from healing, the dust also seems to have a tranquilizing effect.
Relationships[]
Reynaldo[]
He is Mother Dust's interpreter. She greatly cares about him, as in one of Ransom Riggs's Instagram livestreams it is stated that she helped Bentham with his museum by dusting live peculiars only because Bentham threatened Reynaldo.
