Bertha

Bertha, known only by her given name, is a main character in the second half of the Young Miss Holmes series. She works as one of Christie's personal maids.

Appearance
Bertha is Caucasian, which makes the large shadows around her eyes seem very dark. Her eyes of are an unknown color. Her hair is black, and her bangs are kept very short, with only a few pieces hanging into her forehead, making it appear large.

She is shorter than average, and stands half a head shorter or more than her fellow maids. She wears her hair in two neat, tight braids tied with small ribbons. When working in the house, it is usually paired with a frilled headpiece, which matches her work attire of a black ankle-length dress with a high collar tired with a large bow. A frilled white apron and nondescript black boots complete the outfit.

When on outings, she wears a plain cloak with a hood.
