Myna Awnbolt

Mrs. Myna Anne Awnbolt is the scatterbrained and eccentric owner of the South Pole City pet shop. After her fashion expertise saved the shop from closing down, Myna hired Rachel as a part-time worker. She's also a collector of antique door knockers and other knick-knacks.

Background
She was raised in a very unsanitary and unstable household. Despite the carefree, filthy life of her parents and siblings, Myna took it upon herself to be the cleaning lady of the house, spending hours of her childhood to clean every single spot in the house. This, however, continued to encourage the filthy behaviors of her family, believing that she would clean up after them regardless. Nowadays, she will occasionally have "cleaning binges" where she compulsively cleans the room she is in, seeing everything as unclean, and even going as far as driving hundreds of miles to buy specific cleaning supplies.

As a teen, she had long, lanky legs that were a bit too weak to support her through her adolescence. This often led to pain due to her underdevelopment. While lying in bed, sewing fabric scraps together, and watching Card-Jitsu competitions on TV, she suddenly invented Sewing-Jitsu, a combination of both the card game and sewing. Myna quickly became a Sewing-Jitsu star, as it was something she could do to keep her busy. She was fortunately able to save her legs with the money from her many performances, becoming a notable yet quickly irrelevant athlete during her time. Despite this, Sewing-Jitsu became a successful competitive sport still practiced today. And even though you can still see the gorgeous tapestries she's made, she doesn't divulge much in her past. Well, unless you ask her.

Involvement
Myna is a very eccentric penguin, often using phrases and vernacular that she seems to have come up with on the fly. She is slow to pick up on teenage slang expressed by Rachel, calling it a "new language". Any attempts for her to use this "new language" end up butchered comically.

She compulsively collects antique door knockers from the Internet and other areas, often staying up late to win bids and spend large sums of money. Mrs. Awnbolt despises Walter Muffin and his freeloading ways, claiming that his megacorporation is a looming shadow over her small local business. Despite her lower prices and hospitality, many customers turn to Walter's shop for its efficiency and larger selection. This doesn't discourage her, however, and has instead blossomed into a rivalry and an attempt to improve her small business.

Appearance
Myna Awnbolt is an aged yellow penguin with medium length gray hair, prominent cheekbones, and a beauty mark above her beak. She usually wears a modest dark blue dress with purple sunflower-like designs, and a black Card-Jitsu belt around her waist. Her glasses are red and on a gold chain around her neck.

Trivia

 * Although her glasses are on a chain, she tends to lose track of them, about once every two days. This has led to her mistaking household items for them and getting into a handful of car accidents in her time.
 * Her name is an anagram of Anna Twombly.
 * Additionally, she is a parody of Mrs. Anna Twombly from Littlest Pet Shop.
