When her father died, there was an accounting as best she could perform for the people he’d taken. Since then she’s moved away from the area, after as much weregild as possible could be given to the relatives of those who had any, and there is a small memorial garden in the place where the old family mansion once stood and has since been razed to the ground. At least the public parts.
She’s very pragmatic about her survival- but is determined to do it ethically, to give her the time needed to pay back a very large debt to society-at-large, rather than society-as-law. When it comes down to it, there is a good little bit of crazy under the rigid good manners and cheer, but she regards the fact that her condition can still give her great pain as suitable penance- there’s kind of this iron curtain that comes down when someone starts questioning her fitness to exist, but she refrains from lashing out unless someone is really determined to remove her, at which point he moves from Righteous Complainant to Threat. And Threats are to be quietly eliminated.
