Miss Jenny Skunk
First Secretary of McSkunkville
Born: Born on payday, early — like her bills
Model: First Secretary Series No. 1 · long lustrous hair edition · appointment ledger included
Role: Runs the back office, the missions, and the coffee — the town runs on her desk
Miss Jenny Skunk runs the back office of the whole town — appointments, missions, certified mail, and the coffee that keeps the courthouse honest. Her hair is long and lustrous, her ledger is longer, and nothing gets past either one.
She came up the hard way, paid her bills a week early once she could, and earned the title First Secretary because the town's founder swore she'd been worth her keep since the day he met her. Ask anyone on Main Street who really runs McSkunkville and they'll glance toward her desk before they answer.
Her rule is stitched on a pillow behind her chair: friends who paper their deals stay friends.
