Sweepy lives and works at Ye Olde Hypothecary Shoppe, though she has separate living quarters in the adjacent goat barn.

She works for Kaysera mainly in the capacity of milking the goats, working in the garden and orchard, tidying up the place, and, yes, sweeping.

Through a quirk caused by… well, nobody really knows why, she speaks only in rhymes.

Character Bio

Given the name “Sweetpea” by her parents, Daye and Old Man Justin Thyme, the girl soon acquired the nickname “Sweepy” – that being as close as her younger self could come to pronouncing it. Finding herself unable to get rid of the nickname, she seized it as an act of defiance and made it her own.

Or, at least, that's one story she tells. She tells it laughing, though… so there may be more truth hidden behind the meaning of a word from Old Norse: sveipa, which means to wrap; to envelope. And also is related to the verb for… yes, to sweep.
