Embittered by years alone, Roanoke has become something of a shadow of her former self. Where once she was ruthlessly outspoken and confrontational, she has become eerily quiet, challenging others more with her disrespectful body language than her words. Where once she was involved, she has become a shadow on the fringes of life. She has lost none of her sharp wit nor her prejudiced views and biased judgements, however, and is capable of spewing venomous words when the mood takes her. Roanoke almost always casts her lot with the most likely winner, and is a backslider who cares solely for herself.
