Hermina Quartermaine was the first female child of Edgar Quartermaine. She was the twin sister of Howard Kane Duff, as both were born on May 1862. An admired friend turned traitor of Solana Skopf and fellow aristocrats, she also studied both Christianity and demons at an alternative education hub near Pine Valley High school.

Hermina Quartermaine was also the wife of Kestrel Chandler, a fellow half Iroquois. Both got married in 1890, but had an estranged long-term, long distance relationship, leading to the birth of an only child named Nicholas in 1904.

When Hermina underwent menopause and left her native Pennsylvania, she wore a mask and mined a lot of minerals in Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia until retiring due to health issues. Her own relationship with the mining company was terrible and it sucked hard, but that also led to her becoming a proto feminist.

Even as she retired wealthy but suffering from health issues, she gave Nicholas a lot of money! Her luck increased when Nicholas and his rather wealthy but considerably much older Polish-American sweetheart, Alice Mankiewicz, got married in 1928. She died in 1946, shortly after her 84th birthday.
