Great-Aunt Sophy

Great-Aunt Sophy is the bedridden owner of Firbank Hall, where many borrowers once lived, and is the great-aunt of The Boy, Mrs. May, and their sister.

At the time of The Borrowers, she has been bedridden for twenty years after a hunting accident. She has seen Pod in the past and frequently talks to him about racing while he borrows, but thought it was because she was drinking her habitual Fine Old Pale Madeira.
