Ballast Downbound

Ballast Downbound is a female Klabautermann with glass lanterns on each shoulder, overflowing with wax. She runs the B.D. Moondock Salvagation.

History
Ballast Downbound first appeared in book 3, when September had arrived on the Moon in Aroostook, who had just ran out of gas. Ballast heard their distress in the way only a Klabautermann can. She took them aboard her ship, and explained to September about ships, and how they were alive once they gained a ballast, something that September had a hard time believing, since Ballast kept calling Aroostook a ship. Ballast also gave September something she called an "orange fizz", which September forgot about until she was in Patience, when she fell on a typewriter, and the bottle broke in her pocket, spilling onto the typewriter and turning it back into the Fairy it originally was.
