The daughter of a wealthy family of Fenmarch, married to Osgar son of Hincmar in her nineteenth year.

Though not overly affectionate, her love with Osgar was a love that lightened the burden of age and the shortening years of her life. Since the death of her husband by the hand of Tunbeorht son of Beorht, she has become wracked by grief and hungry for revenge.
