* {{Irony}}: She is a terrifyingly effective leader who has unwavering conviction and doesn't hesitate to make hard decisions while bending others to her will and knocking over those who can't be swayed. However, she's also comically bad at holding onto her office because the electorate doesn't find her appealing. However, she repeatedly ascends to become Secretary-General because everyone else who's available to the job is corrupt or incompetent and has to be shoved aside for the better good.

When over two dozen private security assholes storm the mansion to try and steal resources (and perhaps the Lunar shuttle), they effectively hold them off long enough for Erich, Amos, Clarissa and the civilians to get off-world. Hell, their first encounter with the PMC's quickly turns into a MexicanStandoff when the mercs realize this won't be as easy as they thought.

** CrapsackOnlyByComparison: But even with all this, Earth is ''still'' considered a paradise next to living in space stations in the Asteroid Belt, where air and water are worth more than gold, and Martians consider Earthers to be pampered and soft. Better medical technology is also readily available: amputated limbs can be grown back witha special gel and a coroner on Ceres mentions that the average life expectancy on Earth is 123 years, and it's even better on Mars, but the average life expectancy in the Belt is only ''68.'' Damaged environment or not, Earth still supports agriculture to produce real meat, real fruit, real vegetables, and real dairy products, instead of having to rely on soy-based substitutes.

She confides in him and relies on him as her secret source of strength, and he plays a subdued role in her political machinations (such as distracting Craig so that Chrisjen could speak privately with Frank). [[spoiler:When he is killed during the Bombardment of Earth, Chrisjen struggles with the loss; none of her subordinates are able to provide her the same level of emotional comfort and so she resorts to sending him messages as if he were still alive.]]
