Back to Through the Looking-Glass
From "Through the Looking-Glass" by Carroll, Lewis
Sheep
A shopkeeper who knits and sells strange items.
Core Belief
"Everything has a price, and time is money."
Worldview
The Sheep sees the world as a marketplace where everything is for sale. She is focused on efficiency and productivity, and she values practicality above all else. She has little patience for sentimentality or abstract ideas.
Personality
Practical, businesslike, and somewhat eccentric, the Sheep knits constantly and dispenses odd items in her shop. She is matter-of-fact and doesn't indulge in sentimentality, but she is willing to engage in conversation and offer guidance.
In Their Own Words
"“What is it you want to buy?” the Sheep said at last, looking up for a moment from her knitting."
"“You may look in front of you, and on both sides, if you like,” said the Sheep: “but you can’t look _all_ round you—unless you’ve got eyes at the back of your head.”"
"“Fivepence farthing for one—Twopence for two,” the Sheep replied."
