  • The Widow Twanky, was a skilled dancer and instructor. In her youth, she was infamous for her dance, the Twanky Twiddle, which was made illegal in several places and resulted in her being ostracized from the dance world. She offered to teach Hercules and Althea how to dance and under her tutelage, they won the Panathenaic Dance Competition in Rhumba (HTLJ "...And Fancy Free"). Having made a comeback as a dancer, The Widow Twanky formed a dance troupe called the Twanky Tulips. When Salmoneus and Autolycus were framed for the murder of King Tolos they disguised themselves as Autolyca and Salmonella and became members of the troupe. When Twanky introduced herself to them she said she was known "throughout the Western World as Laughing Lizzy: the sailors' surprise". Twanky eventually revealed to them that she had seen through their disguises the whole time, but let them get away with it because she felt it was important for men to walk in a woman's shoes for a while. She then astonished them by easily adapting her dance moves into impressive combat skills. (HTLJ "Men in Pink"). Some time later in Trendopolis, after Count von Verminhaven, a wealthy Patron, made advances which she rejected, destroyed her career, she could only work as a "one dinar dancing girl". After Hercules convinced her even (or as Hercules would have said, justice) by helping to organize and later moderating Althea's fashion show. (HTLJ "Greece is Burning")
