Madame Pomreeda

Madame Pomreeda is a female human character who appears exclusively in JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island.

Appearance
Madame Pomreeda wears a blue cloak with yellow stars and crescent moons down the front, and a light cream-colored shirt underneath it. She wears a cream-colored shawl around her head and neck. She also wears a blue hat with a veil that opens and closes like a curtain. She has dark blue irises.

Personality
Madame Pomreeda has a calm and mysterious demeanor. She is sympathetic towards the kids who have been turned into monsters by Ms. Grunkle, and is determined to help the player restore them. According to Flap, Madame Pomreeda has a "rotten sense of humor," considering the bugs in the Spider's Web activity to be cute.

JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island (1996)
Madame Pomreeda is a fortune teller who resides in a circus carriage at the end of the island opposite of Ms. Grunkle's house. For each quest, Madame Pomreeda gives the player four cards, each of which contains two challenges. The player must complete all of the challenges to collect possessions belonging to the kids. After the player has finished the challenges, Madame Pomreeda will use the collected objects to determine what the child's true personality is and recite a poem aloud to change the kid back.

The player can visit Madame Pomreeda any time before the game's finale by clicking on the crystal ball icon in the toolbar. After the game's last cutscene, the player can continue playing, but Madame Pomreeda's cart and the crystal ball become locked, making it impossible to see her afterwards.

Didn't need a crystal ball to see that one was trouble. Fortunately, I've found some magic cards that will help us bring them back."
