Other information:

Outgoing and cheerful -- almost visibly glows with joy most of the time.  Mood is typically optimistic, ener eti? and hyper. Believes herself "born under a lucky star"; has strong belief in self, to the point of over-confidence. Is quite certain in her own mind that she's the best clothing embellisher in the tribe. Prepared to work hard and endure hardships, if necessary, to get what she wants. Thrives on competition. Popular, attractive, needs to be needed. Has a temper and will show it readily if crossed or slighted; takes criticism poorly. Has significant chutzpah and not a great deal of tact.  If she wasn't so #$%í likable we'd probably have killed her by now.

Moves to New Hope with her daughter Dream after the hostage crisis as part of an informal 'work exchange' between the two tribes.  She and Longshanks lovemate shortly thereafter.
