A mortal woman, she worked as a journalist for the "European Observer" newspaper in Paris. An investigative reporter, she tried to gain entry to the ballet she knew the diplomat Arthur Drakov was attending, denied entry, she was invited to join him by a bystander, Duncan MacLeod. She refused when she spotted Drakov and rushed him to ask her questions. Although he spoke briefly, he had his men manhandle her out of the theatre where she was rescued by MacLeod. They parted ways, but by the next morning she had researched him and wanted to know about the curious confrontation with the law he'd had in both Paris and Seacouver, and that she would stop researching him if he told her what he knew of Drakov.
