She's a top grad from that school Duke Boleoti graduated from. She already died once and came back to a few years ago and is out for revenge against her family who was involved in her death.

So...a few chapters back there's this redhead count from the South right? He's engaged to a 17 year old. That's the (evil) younger sister of Leo's future mom.
