Pashmina Myron

Background
Pashmina Myron lived in the posh Crescent Hill district of Sayrem until an incident involving arson forces her to leave. The story starts with her standing by a carriage, sighing. Pashmina is a woman"short in stature, with broad shoulders. Her straight black hair is cut to her shoulders, and held back from her face with a silver clasp. Her nose is hawlike, perhaps some would call it large for her face, green eyes, olive complexion and a small mouth with dark lipstick.""She dresses well, betraying the nobility of her heritage, a large peacock blue scarf drapes her shoulders, over a well fitted grey jacket and slacks."Based on a note from the Professor, she elects to relocate to Vee Lasetti's Rail Care, in the poorer Five Irons District.

She soon set out to sell the possessions — a bunch of boxes — she had taken with her, at the nearest market, asking for help in the most indirect way, just layout out her terrible plan of getting there alone.

Weaving the Dream
As a Weaver, Pashmina can help shape the Dream — it's like using a loom to make a picture, and add to the glorious tapestry made by the Ministry of Rest — and senses the influence of other weavers in the vicinity.

Pashmina tells the Professor how she perceives the Dream's tapestry: "I can feel it [....] I can feel the weave, I can feel the threads; I don't know where the threads come from or where they're going, but I can feel that they're together."When approaching the inexperienced Weaver in the Dream, Pashmina tries to break apart the disturbance of the Dream and "It sounds like a low chord, of a bow against a string of a bass, and that kinda cuts through the anxiety dream; so, for a little bit, it looks normal and then it fades."She also puts a bubble around herself to protect herself from the Ministry. It manifests as a thin blue piece of yarn along the ground that coils from the end of her scarf like a protective barrier; outside, it looks like there is nothing, it looks part of the dream.

Despite her skills—Dreamweaving, Knowledge of the Dream—she describes being a Weaver as a "burden."

Pashmina and Pepper
Pashmina starts her first conversation with Pepper with a brash "He 's not entered yet. He respects the sign, I don't". In the ensuing back-and-forth, Pepper asks "Were you raised by wolves?"—which, Pashmina agrees, is "close enough."

Pasmina's assertiveness in remarks such as "I represent the team at Rail Care”, "I broker deals. I make sure things get done." and "It is hard to imagine how wondrous it is to be a Noble when you are not one." is met with irony—"it's a great tragedy that I will never experience that feeling of being more powerful and superior"—and a mild demonstration of how Pepper's gaze could turn her into stone.

Pepper finds Pashmina both "so enthusiastic" and "not that interesting"—the latter because:"You remind me of every other Noble I've ever met: self-centered, interested in getting the best deal, and ... with little interest in anyone else. So I would be interested to see if you care to prove me wrong."

Pashmina's fiancé
Pashmina first mentions her fiancé when she tries to recruit Pretty Baby as an escort to an event where she intends to find out whether he is seeing anybody else. Pashmina is clearly not over the fact that "When, allegedly, my family removed me from the lineage of the Myron Estate, my fiancé removed me from our marriage plans."In other words:"How dare he refuse our cordial engagement?"She doesn't love him, though, because:"Marriage is purely to bond two wealths together to defeat other large wealths."What Pashmina needs to know is what wealth he is going after, and destroying that wealth because, again:"How dare he? He can't refuse my beautiful hand; one that is elegant and sophisticated and can textile. How ... dare ... he move on, without me, the ... one our parents agreed would marry ?"

Behind the Scenes
Claudia shared this opinion about her own character:"Pashmina is truly a monster."To which Markus added:"Pashmina is basically Cordelia Chase mixed with Lucille Bluth."
