The girl is very rebellious, leading to the heads of the household considering her potential future as a successful Template:Lang, as a high-ranking courtesan needs not only beauty and talent but also the tenacity to maintain their position in order to be successful.

Template:Lang later takes the name Template:Lang as a Template:Lang (or courtesan-in-training), and later takes the name Template:Lang, and is considered the most beautiful girl in the Template:Lang household. Her popularity threatens the position of the Template:Lang household's other Template:Lang, Template:Lang, which creates great tension between the two.
