Though initially she intended to reveal Negi's secret to the world, she was persuaded to keep quiet about it, and is occasionally seen plotting with Chamo. She frequently elects herself as Negi's manager when it comes to scheduling time with him, (even though Chamo is actually the one pulling the strings).

Both she and Chamo were the instigators of the "Kiss Negi" game during the Kyoto field trip, which lead to quite a number of debacles and a few failed pactios (and some true ones) as a result.
