 Per some was a practical, impatient lady. She love she bishop dearly nd is fiercely protetive of him. She knows he is a wonderful man and is very proud of his nobility but she feels that his innocence is often misused by people. She has very humane flaws like temper, pride, suspicion and a great deal of attachment to material wealth. This is excusable as she is actually a very loving person.
