Young, beautiful, orphaned, wealthy, and committed to unconsciousness. She is deliberately repulsive — cruel to Reva, contemptuous of everyone, and utterly uninterested in self-improvement. Yet the precision of her observations and the extremity of her withdrawal create a compulsive readability. She is depressed, grieving, and in revolt against a world that values her surface and ignores her interior. Her namelessness is thematic: she is trying to erase herself, and the novel cooperates by withholding the most basic marker of identity.
