The Stump is an elderly woman who is very stern.{{book ref|Edgedancer|6}} Many of the children in the orphanage don't like her and neither do most of the surrounding urchins.{{book ref|Edgedancer|6}} Despite this, Arshqqam looks fondly upon the children noting they gave her the nickname of the "The Stump" and calling it a "glorious title, to come from children".{{book ref|sa4|21}} She does, however, also like her original name.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
Arshqqam has spindly fingers and and her skin droops. She also appears fragile. [[Lift]] describes her as a shrivelled up weed of a woman. Further, she says that the woman looks like the child of a broom and a particularly determined clump of moss.{{book ref|Edgedancer|6}} In turn, once joining the Knight's Radiant, the Stump confesses she is fond of Lift though feels Lift needs a firm hand.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
Arshqqam did not want to leave her life in [[Tashikk]] behind but felt compelled to join the Knight's Radiant once her powers manifested. She does not understand why she in particular was chosen given her advanced age but if Lift, a child, was doing joining the cause, she felt there was no excuse for her not to do so.{{book ref|sa4|21}}
