"Rules and schools are tools for fools. I don't give two mules for rules!" ~ A poem by Constance, "The Mysterious Benedict Society" Constance Contraire is a very stubborn and intelligent girl. She is the youngest and most bothersome member of the Mysterious Benedict Society. Though she is naughty, she plays a very big role in the group. She is known for her poems, hardheadedness, and never-ending complaints. Her strength and abilities include being stubborn, writing poems, reading minds, changing minds & transfering messages into other peoples minds. Nicholas Benedict, the very man who formed the society, adopted her and welcomed her to his home.
