She is either not taken seriously or is seen as annoying and in the way. In "Doppelgangers", she criticizes the school's international dress day for stereotyping. In "The Visit", she cuffs herself to a classroom heater to protest the practices of the (fictional) country Boldovia, whose gymnastics team was visiting that episode. Even when she's summoned as a spy in the episode "The B Team" she lambasts MI9's method of doing so 'fascist'.
