Dressed in a dark dress with a plain skirt and low square bodice, Mrs. Balchristie's attire is adorned with a kerchief inside, featuring sleeves that reach the elbow and a muslin layer below. A square lace-edged apron covers the front of her costume, adding an air of refinement to her appearance. Completing the look, a muslin cap with bows and ribbons sits atop her head. In her hand, she carries a vintage mop stick and a bunch of keys, adding to the intrigue and mystery surrounding this beloved literary character.

Throughout the novel, Mrs. Balchristie plays a pivotal role as a wise and trusted confidant to Jeanie.
