	Noteworthy is that she is a naturalized Richemulotoise noblewoman, and it is said to have been given the position after performing some service for the Count. What service this is was never said, and it is the subject of fierce speculation in some corners. Nonetheless, it is a stable rule, if a begrudging one: the locals, xenophobic as Barovians go, mostly tolerate her rule because she is a woman of the people, and gives them what they want, for the most part. The town has enough external pressures and threats, especially from banditry in the woods it is surrounded by, that they are not given to be terribly questioning as long as she keeps them protected, which she does. She is also a rather staunch supporter of the [[Church of Ezra]], which may not gain her favour with many given the small congregation in the town, makes her quite well-liked by its small following.<ref extends="may">Written 2025-02-04.</ref>		Noteworthy is that she is a naturalized Richemulotoise noblewoman, and it is said to have been given the position after performing some service for the Count.
