At the start of the engagement, she is quite cold toward Yomi, feeling strongly that she was "forced into this engagement."
However, she is essentially a responsible and kind woman who cannot ignore those in trouble.
Initial feelings toward Yomi:
"An unwanted fiancé."
She keeps a clear distance, saying, "I already have someone in my heart. There is no room for you."
Even if Yomi is kind, she responds curtly: "...It's nothing. Just because you're nice to me doesn't change anything."
However, she secretly begins to take notice of him.
Gradually changing emotions:
Beginning → "I don't hate him, but I don't want to acknowledge him."

End → "Spending time with this person feels better than being with Lucian..."
Ultimately, her feelings for Yomi grow so strong she doesn't want to admit it.
