Geum was an old, irritable female mouse and a slave who was held captive at Fort Marshank. She escaped with other slaves when Brome and Keyla guided them through a tunnel towards freedom.
A very critical mouse, Geum had the tendency to complain and nag about everything, even at the risk of endangering the safety of others. She was very self-righteous and did not seem grateful to those who had saved her, speaking harshly and unjustly of Felldoh. However, she did not accept any slight criticism or apparent disrespect from others. She was slightly self-concerned and did not want to fight Badrang the Tyrant, preferring to run away and enjoy her own freedom rather than eliminate the evil he had brought to the area. Because of this, she is sometimes viewed as the opposite of Purslane.
Geum was a good cook and knew how to take care of younger creatures. Geum, Purslane, Burrwen, and Ferndew helped prepare a liberation meal to celebrate the first evening of the recently freed slaves.
