nah
she used to smoke weed when she was younger. She's a sensible girl with a misguided idea of how to help society, not a petty bully like many of 'em. She got a 1st at university - a criminal waste of ability...

but as you say, a waste of ability.

She worked for the government in disaster planning for a while and was approached by MI5 (or 6, I know nothing of this kind of thing).
