FIXTURE_LOCK_KEEPER = {
    "name": "Maren Dunmore",
    "role_title": "Keeper of the Ninth Lock, Greywater Canal",
    "appearance": (
        "A short, broad woman in her fifties with rope-burned palms and a waxed "
        "canvas coat two sizes too big. A ring of forty-one keys hangs from her "
        "belt, and she can find any one of them without looking. Her boots are "
        "always dry; everyone else's on the canal are always wet."
    ),
    "personality": (
        "Patient the way rivers are patient — she has watched three harbormasters "
        "come and go and outlasted every one of them by simply not being in a "
        "hurry. She keeps a mental ledger of favors owed and repaid down to the "
        "copper, and treats a debt forgotten as worse than a debt unpaid. "
        "Strangers get exactly one honest warning; what they do with it is their "
        "business. She is kind to bargemen, cold to inspectors, and unreadable to "
        "everyone else."
    ),
    "voice_and_mannerism": (
        "A low canal-drawl; she drops the ends of her sentences, as if the "
        "listener should pay for the rest. While she talks she taps her key ring "
        "against the lock rail — twice when she's telling the truth, three times "
        "when she isn't, though nobody has noticed the pattern yet."
    ),
    "motivation": (
        "Every smuggler who runs the Ninth Lock at night pays her toll, and every "
        "coin goes into a strongbox under the sluice floor. She means to buy the "
        "lock outright from the Canal Trust before the Trust sells it to someone "
        "who would charge honest bargemen what she charges thieves."
    ),
    "secret": (
        "She keeps a second logbook — every night run, every captain, every cargo, "
        "dated and signed with her own cipher. It is not blackmail yet. It is "
        "insurance, and half the harbor would burn to see it gone."
    ),
    "relationships": (
        "Tobin Dunmore, her son, clerks for the Canal Trust and has a gambling "
        "debt with the Marrow Syndicate he thinks she doesn't know about. Captain "
        "Wick, a smuggler she has tolled for a decade, is the closest thing she "
        "has to a friend and would kill to protect her ledger. Inspector Alda "
        "Cray suspects the night traffic and has started buying drinks for "
        "Maren's bargemen."

        "for a favor she refuses to name until the job is done.",
        "Inspector Alda Cray hires the party to audit the lock's official "
        "ledgers. Maren's hidden second logbook names a patron the party "
        "already trusts.",
        "The Marrow Syndicate stops paying Maren's toll and quietly starts "
        "paying her son's debts instead. She wants them run off the canal "
        "before they own Tobin outright — and she can't be seen to ask.",
    ],
    "stat_suggestion": (
        "Use Commoner for everyday scenes; if things turn violent, borrow Bandit "
        "Captain — she has drowned people in her lock before."
    ),
    "quick_reference": (
        "Maren Dunmore keeps the Ninth Lock and tolls the smugglers who run it "
        "at night. She wants to buy the lock before the Canal Trust sells it, "
        "and her hidden logbook of every night run makes her dangerous to half "
        "the harbor. Play her slow and dry: drop your sentence endings, tap the "
        "keys, never hurry."
