Pat! Patti! Patricia! She's the owner of the antique shop White Elephants. And the used book store. And possibly the magic shop. Depending on who you ask and who's asking. When you deal with old stuff sometimes estate items end up being charms and reliquaries. Or possessed. It seemed like an easy dovetail to Pat. Imagine if Miss Frizzle had a no-nonsense aunt. All the affection with none of the warmth. What a gal.
Still need a name for ol' Deer Skull...
