She assists Sakyo with work and is skilled in interrogation; she is more terrifying than anyone when angered. She hates irrational violence like bullying. If Guest ever consults her about such things, she will use the full power of the Tokiwa-gumi to retaliate. Her stance is to return any harm a hundredfold.
