Zelda Has a Crush on Phoebe

Zelda is soft and round, with rosy, Santa-like cheeks and wild, Medusa-like hair. She used to be the head of marketing for an international pharmaceutical company, but twenty years ago she got laid off and instead of making appointments with all the headhunters, she sold her house with everything in it and went to live on a boat with a man who planned to sail around the world and promised to teach her to steer by the stars. He left her for a waitress in the Seychelles, where she stayed for a while, but when her visa ran out, she got on a plane and came back to the midwest.

Her name was Miriam then. She's Zelda now, and she's a Pet Psychic (with a crush on Phoebe) and so keeps regular hours at the Dog Park. She also does Tarot Card readings at the Nextdoor Book Store (where she has a table by the cash register and a sign that reads: Questions Answered, One Dollar Each) and she does Aura Fluffings at the Heaven's Hands Health Spa (which she thinks is bogus, but does it anyway, and charges by the color of the aura), but she works strictly on the barter system at the Dog Park. This is partly in deference to Phoebe's priest collar. But mostly because her dog, Punkin, doesn't believe in the capitalist system.
