Martina Crowe: “Empress Supreme Magistral of the Flaming Backhand.”

“empress supreme magistral of the flaming backhand.”

"A tall, athletic teenager with piercing eyes and raven-black hair, she was much older - and bolder - than most of the students, and had a reputation as the leader among Messengers.  Her name was Martina Crowe."

I loved her.  The actress who plays Martina Crowe is Saara Chaudry.  She was in The Muppets Mayhem, with Lilly Singh.  I really feel for Saara though, because both the Disney Plus shows she starred in were cancelled.  Martina's friendship with Kate Wetherall was very special.  I don't think in the book Martina Crowe plays tetherball, but I'll edit this post if she does.
