Very young, only 16 years of age, her eyes are dark and brooding. Somewhat submissive in her demeanor but her strength of will is surprising. She inherited her fortune after the death of her new husband who would have inherited the fortune when her father and father-in-law both died in a duel on the same night. The horrors she has seen have scared her but her will has not wavered.
