while generally acting in the best interests of fabletown, totenkinder is something of a schemer and often seems to be playing her own game. her help usually comes with a price, such as the many "favors" cinderella owes totenkinder for the enchanted items she provides (although what those favors are has yet to be revealed). very little escapes her attention in fabletown; she was the only one to be aware of snow white's seventh child, for example, and knew of the arrest of trusty john, despite attempts to keep it quiet. her intelligence network in the homelands is extensive, as she has access to the sight of many of those running the empire.
