She is now seen as a traitor so she lives at the Catian Embassy under it's diplomatic immunity. She has the ability to teleport objects to her that lie within a 50m radius. Because of this ability her parents threw her out, leaving her to grow up on as she says "the other side of society". She has a noticeable crush on Kio, due to the fact he is the only person who ever treated her like a normal girl, but feels he would not like her due to her ability.
