This character, never identified by name and not identified by gender until late in the scene in which she appears, interviews Clare to determine whether she would be a good candidate to participate in revolutionary activities in Jamaica. The interviewer's questions cause Clare to examine and define herself in ways she had not previously done, with the result that she comes to an important turning point in her journey of transformation. She realizes, accepts, and acknowledges herself as both black and a woman, capable of self-responsibility, self-determination, and self-respect, all of which she realizes can, and should, be put to good use in the support/service of others like her.
