She is described as being very young, one of the youngest Brains there, and is shown to be quite, only greeting Dinah with a whispered hello. She seems to have brought her teddy bear along with her. Despite her age, she must fairly smart to make it to the tower.

During Dinah's stay in the tower she mostly interacts with Bess, Camilla and Robert Jefferies,
