She's an experienced little steamer, never hesitant to get to work, and willing to pass down what she knows about the line down to the much younger Azul, even if she can be a little too willing. She works the Mail Run with Percy, Tracy and Tillie, handling the mail for her line, and the Seaside Branch.
