Marguerite was relinquished and in poor health, but bounced back. She is elderly, about nine years old. She rooms with Alexis and is very devoted. Marguerite always has commentary and questions. When the Tortoises share the Lavender garden during their seasonal transition to brumation, Marguerite actively checks up on every shelled one. She and Alexis both love blueberries and fresh corn on the cob and she in particular revels in dust baths.
