# Minna Blum — Pointed Roofs character guide

> Minna Blum in Pointed Roofs by Dorothy M. Richardson.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Minna

**First appearance:** 0003-i

## Snapshot

A gentle German pupil with a pink shining nose and exquisitely coiled blond hair, she answers every remark with 'Oh, thou dear God!' and turns her smiling face toward the light.

## Who they are

Minna sits opposite Miriam at table, responding to the louder remarks with delighted exclamations and drawing her chair near when Fräulein Pfaff hands round the Schiller. She is one of the serene German girls who already possess complete outfits of house linen and confess, with a lit face, that they are frightfully fond of cooking. Her placid security is exactly the kind of future Miriam envies and cannot imagine for herself.
