She lives in a mansion with her children along the Ferry Road. She had married Beauty's father. He passed away shortly afterwards. She made her stepdaughter Beauty do all the work in her mansion for her and her children. She makes her live out in the back in the stables. The aged woman is always too busy yelling.
