She is open to accepting Aki's sexuality and supports him in her own way.

Trivia[]
- She is strongly inspired by Chinese-born Wendi Deng, now ex-wife to Australian-born new corporation billionaire Rupert Murdoch. His marriage to Murdoch produced two New York-born daughters, who aren't particularly close to their much older half-siblings (alluding to Aki's absent older half-siblings).
