She has been known to wear striking clothes and makeup, and claims to be a psychiatrist who can read minds. Her relationships with men are unclear, but she has been seen with a Caucasian and rumored to have gone with Negroes. She does not get along with her father and has a history of not completing tasks. Her case was brought to the attention of the authorities due to complaints from her roommates, and she has been advised to move into a room by herself.
