But I pictured Izma, from the Emperor's new groove :D

"Why do we even HAVE that lever?"

Such a quotable movie. I need to go watch it again.

Jim described Cavendish as Evil Mary Poppins. :) And since Missy has been described as evil Mary Poppins, it sure fits.

Aha! Missy is definitely Evil Mary Poppins. Especially at the end of "Deep Breath," when she's dancing around the garden (from "The Girl Who Waited," but never mind...) with her umbrella.

Cinder Spires Spoilers / Miss Cavendish = Michelle Gomez?

I don't normally do fan-casting in my head, but from the first scene with Sycorax Cavendish, I saw and heard her as Michelle Gomez, specifically in her role as "Missy" in recent episodes of Doctor Who. I know the book has been in the planning stages for a while, so it almost certainly wasn't intentional. I was probably also influenced by "Sycorax" being a name used in Doctor Who (originally from Shakespeare, yes, I know). I'm wondering if anybody else saw her that way?
