Incarnadine Glorch

Incarnadine "Dina" Glorch is the principal of Teras Elementary, the school that Wade Mongley attends. She tries her best to be tough but fair, although perhaps overly fond of bizarre homilies or relating rambling, seemingly irrelevant stories to troubled students. Still, she's a capable administrator, and keeps the school more or less in order.

Although Principal Glorch is apparently confined to an immobile, barnacle-like shell, she manages to get around by virtue of having had the shell affixed to a wheeled platform.
