She has the appearance of a twenty-one year old woman{{ref|group=fn|text=While described as nineteen, the years given are translated for the Rosharan audience the story is being told to
She is not exactly happy about her life and wishes for something more, but forces herself to accept it, and all the rules accompanied with it, without question. This faith ultimately left her utterly distraught upon learning that it was merely traditionalism, instead of the explicit will of the hijo. Though she eventually did come to question why she is so devoted, and if she could possibly do something more with her life, though she hates herself for the thought.{{book ref|yumi|2}}{{book ref|yumi|4}} This conflict between her wish for more, and her devotion to tradition, defines her relationship with the role of the yoki-hijo, and her life as a whole.

Her disappointment and frustration were only furthered by how much she had to rely upon him to save the hijo, her expectations that he would be a great hero like that of legends, and by the negative effects he was having on her public image and her relationship with her kihomaban and her attendants.
Over time, they began to see each other more clearly and grow close, eventually falling in love.
