Yes. It seems like this runs in the family. |
| 87 | * FunctionalGenreSavvy: She deduced Mr. King's ''[[TheFairFolk nationality]]'' just through {{Genre Savvy}}ness. (OK. Being [[{{Oireland}} Irish]] and knowing a bit about Myth/CelticMythology probably also helped). |

| 96 | * PrimAndProperBun: She wears her hair in one accentuating her ProperLady image. |
| 97 | * SilkHidingSteel: She looks and acts like a ProperLady but she is much more daring, witty and aware than most people would think (this includes the guy... man... person she flirts with). |
