Working as a court expert in Zurich, she has long, dark blond hair falling in curls around her green eyes. With an unprecedented work ethic and an inherent sense of duty, she is skeptical of the Knights Templar and their Grand Master, as her unwavering courage means that she is loyal and wholeheartedly committed when she places her trust in something or someone.
