Biography[]
Never Send Flowers[]
She struck Bond as athletic, and as someone who would get what she wanted when she wanted it. She is overly protective of her position as Bond's lover, as she tends to get a tad macabre when Caramel Chantry is brought up, calling her a tart, subtly implying that she is promiscuous or a prostitute, and threatening to rip out her organs if she came near Bond again. She is fired from the Swiss secret service when she is expelled from a hotel during the investigation of the murder of Laura March, and later hired by MI6.
