She is found by Sovieshu after injuring her leg in a trap planted by the Emperor during hunting season, and thus becomes the Emperor's first lover when the two fall in love. In order to keep his name from being tarnished, Emperor Sovieshu decides to hire a fake family for him, although this causes a stir when Duke Ergi/Elgy decides to do the same for the commoner, but this is solved by blaming Kosair/Koshar.

She is also shown to give out extremely cruel punishments to those she deems 'traitors' and a threat to her legitimacy as Empress, such as cutting out their tongue and even ordering their execution (which was blocked by Sovieshu).
