Abbess Germaine was an old female mouse, formerly the last Abbess of Loamhedge Abbey, but a plague forced her and others to leave and travel to Mossflower. Germaine was great friends with Bella of Brockhall, whom she had known for many seasons. Germaine was a wise and venerable creature, and looked up to by many, especially Columbine. She was also a great cook and was famous for her roasted chestnut and cream recipe.
