Patricia "Trish" Savage[1] is the housemother for Whitman Cottage.

She's six foot tall[2] blonde, shapely, and an avid fitness buff, training on a Bowflex machine every night.[1]

She served as a Marine Drill Instructor at Parris Island.[3][4]

She and her deceased husband, Clarke[5] shared many adventures, including climbing Mt. Everest—twice.[1] He is quite likely meant to be an allusion to Doc Savage.[6] She fills her loneliness with her girls; in fact, she takes the title "house mother" more literally than most, seeing the girls as surrogate daughters.[1]

She is a baseline, but has a magical necklace (supplied by Circe) that warns her of trouble.[1] She was able to sense it when Loophole teleported her armor into her dorm room. She was also able to navigate Murphy's spatial distortions;[7] whether this was due to the necklace or merely her experience as an adventurer was not explained. She has a tendency to seemingly appear from nowhere.[7] She has a Gadget her husband made, that allows her to scan the Cottage for cameras, scrying magic, and other forms of peeping.[5]

"She has an ongoing feud with Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Selkirk, the housemothers of Dickinson Cottage, and tends to subtly encourage her girls to prank the Dickinsons.[1] She shares the Whitman housemother duties with Angela Hollingberry.[7]

She has a temper and is less permissive than some other house parents,[8] but cares deeply for her girls and relishes being able to make a difference in their lives.[1]

An entity called a Caliban has been interfering with Mrs. Savage's perceptions in order to fan the feud between Diamondback and Psydoe.[9]
