Dame Dalmar

"Dame Dalmar, looking down her nose, had told the class that the people of Broome were very loud, wild and vulgar. That was hardly surprising, because they were all descended from castaways, pirates and mutineers."

Dame Dalmar is a school teacher living in Del. She owns and teaches at a small school beside Del Pottery.

Shadows of the Master
Dame Dalmar worked as a teacher at a school in Del. Britta was one of her students. One day she had been teaching her class about the coastal city of Broome. Dame Dalmar had told her class that the people of Broome were loud, wild and vulgar, which she hardly found surprising, as they were descended from castaways, mutineers and pirates. One of her students - Benn, a boy she found impertinent - put up his hand and said that the captain of the palace guards had married a woman from Broome. Irritated Dame Dalmar argued that strange bonds were formed in times of war. She said that she would not dream of questioning the captain's choice of wife, but she herself would not care to know a person with no idea of proper manners.

Personality
Dame Dalmar has a snobbish attitude and does not seem to have much respect for people who do not live in Del, evidenced by her disdainful and discriminative attitude towards the people of Broome who she sees as vulgar savages with no idea of proper manners.
