"Miss Peregrine" (really Caul) rode in Fiona's hair when the children headed back to the house in Chapter 11.ĭuring Victor's burial, she recreated the destroyed topiary of Adam over Victor's grave using some shrubs and vines. Later in Chapter 8, Emma runs into her and Hugh "snogging each other's faces off in the garden." Emma also explains about "Jill and the Beanstalk", a game the children play where they grab onto saplings and see how high Fiona can grow them. It's also stated that Fiona can grow bushes, flowers, vegetables, and sometimes whole trees. Emma also confirms that she's actually from Ireland, not the jungle. If she was supposed to look like a homeless farmer, to which Emma tells him she is supposed to look " natural, like a savage person" and that they call her "Jill of the Jungle". (A video of the song being performed can be seen under "Other Facts") Hugh also joins her performance when his bees pollinate the flowers Fiona had grown.Įmma shows Jacob Fiona's show card and tells him that they'd worked hard on her outfit.
