Her actions favor neither the good nor the evil, as she answers to a power that mortal women fail to acknowledge.

History: She was raised in a white middle class family as the only child. Through the years after Manea was born, her father became increasingly distant from her family, instead choosing to pursue power in the west.

She has been working here for the past few years.
