 Mitty, so Mitty is born in Connecticut but lives in the south, she moves to Georgia. She is vivacious, she is impulsive, she has these coy turns of phrase. She is the one who introduces Theodore to the African proverb, speak softly and carry a big stick. She is the one who will soothe his fevers and his coughs, she'll literally massage the blood out of his chest when he is sick, and quite literally saves his young life.
