She is a very kind and considerate woman, as she excitedly agreed to take Violet in and warmly welcomed her to her home. She is also polite, well-mannered and lady-like. She can be rather honest and is not afraid to voice her opinions, but she is very caring and has strong parental instincts. Although she is a bit surprised by Violet's eccentric behavior, she genuinely cares for her. She is also deeply saddened by her son's death and misses him dearly.
