An archaeologist specialising in the lost artefacts of Windal, Orias and his party are referred to her by Ursula for help in identifying items picked up during dungeon exploration. She has a truculent disposition but will cooperate with adventuring parties on expeditions to Ishgalia's depths in the hopes of learning more about the lost city. Although personally benefiting from Demetrio Madram's personage, she gets wind of the secret Chimera research and is in the middle of her own investigation into it when Orias and his party come to her asking for help. When her laboratory is attacked by Zenobia and accompanying assassins, she is forced to flee and seek sanctuary at Ursula's tavern and join Orias' party in order to stay alive.
