* MysteriousPast: Aside from the fact that she was a noblewoman before running away with Arliden, we know very little about her past. However, it is heavily implied that she is Lady Lockless, especially given her reaction to the BawdySong ''Lady Lockless'', that young Kvothe sings without initially realising the double meanings. It would also explain why the other Lady Lockless that Kvothe encounters some years later, playing Cyrano for the Maer, hates the Edema Ruh so much - and given she expresses her prejudices to Kvothe, it would add an extra layer of irony.
