Personal history
While in the Shadow Realm, she spent her life as a scholar. She traveled the world to learn from other races with her focus being on social ethics.
When she came to the Mundane World, she saw that many of the newly arrived Shadow Kind were struggling to find their way. She decided that there was a need for a guide into this new world. Thus, she gathered together the "Wildlings" or those who had yet to adapt and created a home for them with a goal of helping them integrate into Mundane society.

Education
She attended several colleges in the Shadow Realm. While in the Mundane world she has earned a master's degree in social work through an online program.
Employment
She runs the Central Park Apartments as housing for low income and disabled individuals. All the applications that are accepted are also Shadow Kind.
Intellectual Characteristics
She is intellectually driven. All things need to be analyzed for their pros and cons without allowing emotions to sway the decision.
Skeptical: not easily convinced; having doubts or reservations.
Pragmatic: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical.
She is pragmatic and independent in their decisions and actions. Rather than choosing the path which they feel they should take according to society or laws, she will make up her own mind. What she chooses will be driven by her own personal motivations. Generally, she will follow the rules and favor Good over Evil, but only because it makes her life easier and she is generally rewarded for it, not because she feels obliged to by morals or ethics.
She doesn't believe in upholding the rules and laws of society, but nor does she feel the need to rebel against them. She will follow orders from people in authority, but only if it suits them. If that authority tries to get in her way, or is disrespectful, she will not follow them. She takes a very balanced view of relationships. She will show respect to people who respect her, harm those who harm her, and be kind to those who show her kindness. This means she will help and defend her allies, and hinder and take out bad guys. If someone is in need and she doesn't know them, she will weigh up if helping them is worth it or not. In her everyday life, she doesn't get involved in the lives and business of people she doesn't know.
When she invests herself in a cause, it is because she will directly benefit from the outcome of that cause. In the case of helping other Shadow Kind assimilate into the Mundane World, she is ensuring that the Veil in maintained and all Shadow Kind remained protected from the Mundanes. Additionally, she believes that having a community of Shadow Kind gives her the diverse resources that she once enjoyed in the Shadow Realm and is now much harder to access in the Mundane Realm.
She will usually keep her word, but if circumstances change and it’s better for her to break her promise then she will. Likewise, she will not usually use poison, but they will do so if she thinks it is the best action at the time. The same with betraying allies, she will, but only if lives are at stake. In a physical encounter, she will eliminate others but only to defend herself or her allies. She will not go on a rampage because she doesn't take pleasure in harming others. Causing harm to others is a last resort. She will use equal or lesser force to defend herself.
