She is a drug dealer and pusher, and has no real friends on the wing, except Denny Blood. She had an affair with abusive officer Jim Fenner which eventually came to an end, after she stabbed him with a broken bottle. In series 2, she states that the judge who sentenced her to life imprisonment had called her "evil personified".

Famous quotes containing the words personality and and/or personality:
“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The great pines stand at a considerable distance from each other. Each tree grows alone, murmurs alone, thinks alone. They do not intrude upon each other. The Navajos are not much in the habit of giving or of asking help. Their language is not a communicative one, and they never attempt an interchange of personality in speech. Over their forests there is the same inexorable reserve. Each tree has its exalted power to bear.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
