Family
Her niece Melfane became Elayne's midwife.
Activities
She chose Naris Pelden and her sister Sephanie to be trained as Elayne's maids because they were unlikely to be spies.
She knew the job and did not waste time on chatter. Sometimes she suggested clothes and made the same comment every day, that Elayne reminded her of Morgase. She reserved certain tasks for herself, such as dressing and undressing Elayne. She denied that her joints ached and refused Healing.
