Tweedie

I just drank the last of the coffee creamer I bought you.

-- Tweedie

Tweedie is over a hundred years old, Scottish, and looking for ways to stave off her depressive boredom. Though a raging alcoholic, she never seems drunk. Might have something to do with being a Sin Eater.

Backstory

Born in 1828 Scotland, in a nowhere village that no longer exists. She was orphaned at an early age and left to fend for herself. Her parents had worked with tweed, so the village called her Tweedie. She has no memory of her given name.

Sin Eaters were popular at the time. Bread and beer were lain on a recently dead body to absorb the sin of the person. Another would then willingly eat the food, consuming the person's sin to allow them into Heaven. In doing so, the Sin Eater was condemning their soul. They were also given a small payment. Tweedie being a young child didn't understand this. She only saw a means to eat, and ate well when a plague devastated her's and the surrounding villages.

Tweedie became a Sin Eater for local lords, eventually shipping off to England. She was paid handsomely to consume the sins of church clergymen and kings. She has a massive amount of wealth but doesn't really do anything for herself with it. She'll anonymously drop huge amounts to local charities and random individuals that need a little extra help. Towns that she has lived in somehow have plenty of money to fix the infrastructure and help elevate poverty areas.

Locals of the town she currently lives in have given her the tital of town drunk. None of them know she owns the local bar and pays her workers far above average salary, not even her workers. Or that she resides in the mansion just outside of town where she keeps all the stuff she can't put into a bank. She's thought about opening her home up as a museum.
