Poppy Williams

Poppy Kumaneko Williams is the grandmother and parental guardian of Lucile Breen who works as the secretary of Portman's Mayor Don Major. She was a former government agent whose ties with the CIA and U.S. military earned her the nickname, "Sweet Tooth," in light of her uniquely sharp shark-like teeth. While it is unclear exactly what she did in her past, it is said that her father was a Japanese agent who, during a mission, was injured and left stranded on U.S. soil. This, however, worked in his favor as he not only fell in love with a psychiatrist who would go on to marry him, but also inspired his daughter to work to a similar position to his when she joined the military.

Before Star Heart, Poppy's daughter, Cecilia Breen, passed away from childbirth leaving her mother to take care of the baby when Lucy's father neglected her. Despite her age (somewhere in her early 70's), she physically seems to remain roughly in her late 50's saying age is just a number. At the start of the book, she retires from service as a government worker before taking up a new job as a secretary for Mayor Major, being discontent with "sitting it out."
