Holy Bible
Sr. Keating is NEVER seen without her trusty Bible.Though, more often than not she simply pretends to read it to inconspicuously eavesdrop on people.
Miraculous Medal
A special medal with a cameo of the Virgin Mary prominently featured upon it. This medal is worn or held by Sr. Keating from time to time. She is not alone in wearing it. Others in Karakura employ the medal either as a symbol of Marian devotion and protection or to have sinister Yōkai reveal their true nature.
During her time in Karakura, she has heard stories of these medals appearing in sacred places, causing sinister spirits to become distressed or target the wearer, and warding off ‘diabolic’ whispers. She has stories of her own, due to her involvement with the Occult Club.
Butterfly Rosary
A special rosary, unique to Teresa’s sect. Routinely employed as part of her religious life. Although, she often uses it during periods of emotional distress or to ward off perceived demonic activity, sifting through the beads at an alarming pace. The beads are made out of pewter crystals depicting butterflies.Smartphone "Marian"
A smartphone with a depiction of the Virgin Mary on the back, and of Jesus Christ on the front as the wallpaper. A blue butterfly appears to be perched on the top of the phone. Probably plastic. Probably.
Silver Crucifix
A highly sentimental piece of jewellery worn by Sr. Keating.She is seldom ever seen without this item and a black briefcase. Teresa was given the crucifix and accompanying silver chain upon beginning her novitiate within the 'Discipuli Lux Divina' sect. It is practically an appendage, a part of her.

Biography/Background
♱ Birth
On the 4th of April 2005, Teresa Keating entered this world on a bright cold day in Karakura, Japan, as the clocks were striking thirteen. Her birth marked a singular chapter in the tapestry of her family's history. Her father was 35 years old at the time of her birth; a British tourist who had ventured into Karakura and found himself deeply enamored by Teresa's mother, a graceful 66-year-old woman with an impressive property portfolio.Teresa's father had cultivated strong bonds within Karakura's small Catholic community since his arrival, and when Teresa graced the world with her presence, the news spread as though it were some extraordinary revelation. Some in the community facetiously dubbed her birth a ‘miracle’ adding a touch of scandal to their astonishment given the broader Karakura populace was not particularly receptive to brazen claims of miracles.
♱ Early Childhood
The tapestry of Teresa’s upbringing was woven with threads of her dual heritage. Her father, a British expatriate and distinguished Barrister, ensured that she imbibed the essence of her British roots, bestowing upon her a profound appreciation for English literature, music, traditions, and, most notably, jurisprudence. His aspirations for Teresa originally centered around a career in Karakura's legal profession, but it would seem Providence had other plans.A poignant moment in Teresa's life came when she was only 11 summers, and involved the expected passing of her aged mother. The loss was followed by an increase in Church visits. The boost in visitations was the direct result of Teresa’s father who was seeking to mend the void in her heart. His efforts were not in vain: The Church became her sanctuary, and it was amidst its hallowed halls that she crossed paths with religious sisters visiting Karakura as tourists. Their temporary presence seemed to reveal a path Teresa never knew existed; the solace of consecrated life. She never even considered this as an option due to Karakura's demographics.
The pursuit of this path, however, was not seriously considered due to the demands of Teresa’s early homeschooling. Those days emerged as some of the most blissful moments in her life, as she thrived in an environment teeming with erudite mentors.
♱ Teenage Years - Entering Karakura High
At the age of 13, she embarked on her journey into Karakura High. There the stark realities of the world left her disconcerted. The pervasive presence of violence, murmurs of an underground ‘fight club’, and rampant discord at the school caught her all by surprise. These discoveries, coupled with Teresa’s propensity to rectify her teachers at the faintest misstep posed challenges to forging meaningful relationships. Notwithstanding these difficulties, she retained a small circle of friends, most of whom shared her unwavering faith in Christ.A profound transformation took root within Teresa as the years passed by. She would work on her hubris and begin forming meaningful friendships. The echoes of judgment gave way to a newfound humility. Detractors persisted, accusing her of being an overly sanctimonious 'holier-than-thou' fraud. But as her final year of High School commenced, she astonished many by appearing in the attire of a novitiate; eventually donning the complete habit and garb of a religious sister.
Shortly upon beginning her novitiate in the Discipuli Lux Divina sect, it was decided by senior leadership within the sect that ‘the period of her novitiate should be dramatically reduced’ because of her ‘unwavering faith in Christ and obvious propensity to show absolute fidelity to the final vows taken by our religious sisters’.
Teresa’s tone underwent a profound metamorphosis after she took these vows. Where once stood a judgmental snob, there now stood a lone figure: sincere and austere, harboring compassion and humility. There were naturally some who felt this transformation was artificial and continued to belittle her.
♱ Present
This extraordinary transformation continues to captivate many. However, it also unsettles skeptics uncertain whether any internal change has occurred; particularly because of her very short novitiate that she is very reluctant to talk about. Teresa is presently committed to living out the teachings of her faith and building bridges of friendship and solidarity with her peers. She is virtually alone in this task as very few young women are interested in assuming a decidedly Christian religious vocation in Karakura.During Teresa's time in the Occult Club, she spearheaded an investigation into a 'missing statue of the Virgin Mary'. During a remodeling of the Karakura Church interior, an attic, containing a 'second' statue of Mary, distinct from the one out the front of the Church that remains to this day... went missing!
This caused her significant distress due to her tendency to go up into this attic to make prayers for intercession, and due to the sentiment by some from the Archdiocese that there was a 'presence' in this attic. AND SO, a meeting was had, questions were asked ... until eventually, an incident happened.
Though not involved in the incident herself, it was reported by several officers of the KPD and some civilians that they all saw a statue of the Virgin Mary spring to life in the abandoned Masamaru station. Fire was conjured in the vicinity, causing some officers to sustain severe burns.
Teresa immediately interpreted the reports as 'firsthand accounts of miracles' and subscribes to the theory that the 'miracle' is Our Lady of Sorrows interceding on our behalf to protect the people of Karakura from malevolent Yōkai plaguing the station. Though she has absolutely zero evidence for this theory, she points to 'a recent intrusion into the Church by a sinister presence, that penetrated the walls of the Karakura Church, seized a shrine maiden by the throat, and fled. It is Teresa's ardent belief that the statue springing to life is 'clearly a precaution of miraculous origin' to prevent 'further intrusions' into a sacred space and to 'protect the people of Karakura'.
Incidentally, after this incident, a room was discovered beneath the Karakura Church's lectern, containing a small room with... a statue of the Virgin Mary. It is unclear where it came from, unclear if it was the same one that 'went missing', and unclear how such a heavy object made it down there into such a narrow space: but, since the incident, Teresa has been one of a great many members of the community flocking down into this room to leave written prayers in the stray barrels around the statue:

Occult Club Leadership.
Effective 18/02/2025, Teresa Keating quietly assumed the position of Third Occult Club Lead of the Occult Club of '24. This was met with the congratulations of many members and applicants of the club, even Erik Finster, the man who she was succeeding, who held elections to gauge interest in her leadership and voted for her himself.
Time will tell what her leadership will bring to the club, but so far: she has provided a sizeable apartment to the club for use outside of school hours which has been met warmly.
She has not responded to the news of her new position with the degree of enthusiasm one would expect; instead, she's offered polite words of thanks to all who offer congratulations to her and quietly begun asking her predecessor procedural questions about club management and her new responsibilities. It would seem she does not want to let the club down, or perhaps certain key members within it.
CLUB LEADERSHIP DIARY
Leadership during the month of...
Curious encounters were experienced by Teresa during the month. During a lesson on 'spiritual and religious items' held in the Karakura Church, her Parish priest, Fr. Chulainn, accompanied by Niibu, a priest from the Shinsei Meisanaru Monastery both took a sizeable group of folks to the Itsbyoshi Trail. This is because there has allegedly been a Marian apparition there, and so the Church wanted to visit it 'in pilgrimage'. However, rather than finding the Mother of God, they found an invisible shadowy figure speaking in some unknown tongue and threatening violence. Naturally, they all fled.
Teresa, as Club Lead, helped lead a field trip into Kiken station in collaboration with the Karakura Urban Exploration and Research Team (K.U.E.R.T) later this month notwithstanding the objections of folks from the shrine warning that the area was 'haunted', and even her parish priest Fr. Chulainn who, mere hours before the trip, simply texted her 'God help you'. The Club's members went down in 'waves'. During the 'second wave', Teresa was among those targetted by a female spirit in the station, and, in this instance, the spirit decided to target her recent relationship breakdown with Mei Miura. This caused her considerable emotional distress. Notable highlights include...
- The spirit suggesting it was 'about time' this happened.
- The spirit suggesting Teresa was 'weak willed', 'worthless' and crazy: 'crazy bitch'
- The spirit suggesting Teresa was unlovable and 'pathetic', 'can't even keep a boyfriend'.
- The spirit suggesting there was nothing virtuous about Teresa
The Club and KUERT's attending members evacuated the station. Teresa was left deeply shaken and in a completely despondent state after the incident; her rosary being, really the major thing holding her together. All attempts to console her were not met with a great degree of success.
She has been actively seeking the assistance of Karakura's Psychiatrist, and, unusually, seems hellbent on stockpiling love Omamori amulets which she has a proclivity to hand out to anyone, usually though not always men, who are around her age and who successfully manage to cheer her up or make her smile, however briefly. Shrine inhabitants, close friends, and even her former boyfriend have described this practice to her as either 'unhealthy' or unsettling. This does not appear to have made a meaningful difference.

During the month of April, Ms. Keating was forcibly removed from her residence and abducted by members of a shadowy group, namely the Order of ██ █████ ████. She has told only a select few people of her harrowing ordeal. There, she was aggressively interrogated about ███████ and made to surrender her phone and other information. The pair were initially hellbent on extracting the information through violent aggression but, ultimately, found her to be too pitiable and sorrowful; as well as lacking any meaningful information about ██████. They did, however, offer to induct her into their Order. Presented with the choice of induction into the group or being violently beaten she opted for the former and had a ritual symbol placed on the nape of her neck. She was made to swear an oath of fealty to ███████.
Since joining the Order she has grown increasingly isolated from the one person she cares about which has not been helping her situation. Her rosary no longer brings the same solace it once did; indeed, the promise of eternal life no longer seems particularly desirable to her ... yet she continues to pray the rosary silently and shares such thoughts with nobody.
Others have noticed a distinct change in her behavior. The kindness that once typified her is gone; in its place a cold distance or outright hostility at the worst of times, and at the best a feigned politeness that seemed superficial. She does not seem to find joy in speaking to anyone at all and gives the impression that simply speaking to strangers or once-close-friends was an incredible inconvenience and waste of time.
Other noteworthy activity in this month included her discovery of a Stone Baby of the Infant Christ in the Karakura Church. She tells others she simply 'found it', but has disclosed to select others she was crying in Church only to be interrupted during the hour of Compline. She overheard a baby crying and went in search of the source. Upon finding it, the crying immediately ceased and the statue was discovered completely still, unmoving, unblinking. Those around her observed her experiencing complete elation whenever she cradled the thing; but this boost in mood immediately ceased when she entrusted the statue to Zankokuna Ai, a member of the Occult Club for safekeeping.

As the Month of May approached, so too did Karakura's first 'May Crowning' ceremony, a devotional practice or ceremony intended to honour the Virgin Mary. Despite being deeply involved in the organization for this activity, which went magnificently well...
She did not attend.
In fact, during the entire month of May, Teresa was not seen attending Mass, going to confession, receiving the Eucharist or engaged in any religious activity at all. She was, however, seen constantly visiting Classroom 312, often in the company of shady figures who seemed to be pushing her along.
Indeed, during one club meeting held in this month: one such figure showed up, to her residence, masked and just... stood by her, during the entire meeting.
Teresa would appear in the Journalism Club's paper as an entry; with her visits to room 312 being highlighted. She would ultimately go on to be interviewed again in June.
Nobody can say with absolute certainty the precise reasons why Ms. Keating went to room 312 so often, or what transpired, if anything, during those visits.
They do not appear to have made her any happier.
Rumors quickly circulated when a cursed mirror placed in the Occult Club room began to show students mysterious unnatural things. The Club Lead was not exempt; and rumors quickly spread that she, and others beside her: saw her ex-boyfriend smiling unnaturally wide, staring back at her. While others were unnerved, she simply reached out, smiled hysterically, and leaned in towards the mirror. Later in the month, people saw she returned to this mirror regardless of objections by her fellow club members to take it down, staring fondly into it again and again.

Absolute pandemonium unfolded during June. Including a meeting so unprecedentedly turbulent that it caught the attention of KHS's Journalism Club
https://schoolrp.net/threads/school-news-report-the-occult-club-mania.83538/
Mei Miura, Teresa's ex-boyfriend, and the Occult Club's 'LOREKEEPER': was discovered sobbing to himself in the club room after having been locked inside. It was unclear how this occurred. Zankokuna Ai, a close friend of Miura guarded the locked door and refused anyone entry. Whatever happened in that room did not seem to involve him, but Mr. Miura was locked inside for some time and found inside ALONE.
Upon the door eventually opening. Club Members discovered Mr. Miura could not remember his name or anyone really. His long-term and short-term memory seemed to be on the fritz. Rumors quickly spread that the 'Amanojaku of Room 312' was responsible, and all fingers pointed towards the Club Lead.
The following days involved highly coordinated efforts to keep Mr. Miura as far away from the Club Lead as possible until he eventually recovered his agency; the mere prospect of the pair having so much as a discussion was deemed an unacceptable risk.
Once he recovered, however, the Club found itself besieged by another issue: an antique mirror, allegedly cursed ... was stolen. Missing. CCTV footage revealed a masked figure came into the school and took it away, only to be followed by Zankokuna Ai.

MEDICAL HISTORY
Teresa is generally healthy, but her medical history as a whole has identifiable patterns:- Sprains and Bruising: Ostensibly from refusing to acquiesce to aggressors, especially when asked to overlook violence against her peers. She has been spotted on more than one occasion fervently praying near scenes of grotesque violence and conflict.
- Drowsiness/Sleep Deprivation/Exhaustion: Teresa seems to have issues sleeping due to her strict routine of prayer which she has to balance with her education and, on top of that, additional education in theology that she feels the need to ‘get ahead on’ as a result of her short novitiate. She has a productive relationship with friends and doctors who often encourage her to remain well-rested and engage in self-care.
- Persistent Limerance: [REDACTED]
PERSONALITY / PERSONAL LIFE
Benevolence and friendliness typify Teresa almost all the time. She actively enjoys meeting strangers and does her best to be as inviting as possible notwithstanding her somewhat alienating appearance and propensity to be rather nosy.
She has an aversion to the bad-mannered, willfully ignorant, and elitist members of society; particularly when they are older than her and ‘should know better’. Teresa dedicates her life to the underprivileged members of Karakura, including the imprisoned, sick, and homeless. She has always treated them with kindness, so the treatment of the young as a scourge and the callousness often shown to strangers “rendered invisible in an instant” appears to her as a grave offense.
Teresa’s private life, by contrast, is one of contemplative prayer and solitude; enriching herself in the mysteries of her Order. Of course, she has regular hobbies like any other teenager; singing, writing, and drawing among others. However, even these sometimes overlap with her religious life. She is an avid reader of the news, but often finds herself providing a healthy amount of insightful critique based on this exercise; with ‘Bible in one hand, and Newspaper in the other’ as is common among religious sisters across numerous Christian denominations.
Teresa's understandable willingness to protect others does often get her into trouble because of her deep naivete and propensity to see the good in everyone. Her involvement in urban exploration groups and the Occult Club have arguably only increased her likelihood of being harmed.
The ‘trouble’ she is prone to get involved in often results in some degree of physical harm or being judged for involving herself in dangerous situations at all. Teresa vehemently rebukes such critics, each and all, because “surely” those who have been deemed lost by society are not beyond the capacity for love and forgiveness:
Weaknesses/Vices
Compliment Fisher
Adores the naturally flirtatious, and any who would offer her a compliment. If you're not 100% willing to face some risk on her behalf then you are not considered by her to be the best sort of company.Incapable of Wrong
Teresa rarely takes accountability for her actions, too often falling into the habit of genuinely believing she is incapable of moral error, particularly when involved in arguments. She will often perform mental gymnastics to justify her misbehavior. Reckless Naivete
As a consequence of her upbringing, she adamantly believes in the inherent goodness of people and has an intense desire to nurture the potential for goodness within others, guided by an innocent (but often mistaken and misplaced) belief in their inherent virtue and intentions.
Aspirations
Though her dream is to work in the medical profession as a Doctor someday, the truth is that it is more likely she will quietly and gladly shelve her ambitions to instead pick a career that would see her in the greatest possible proximity to someone she cares about.

Mei Miura
A fellow member of the Occult Club. The pair seem to care for each-other a great deal, but her romantic fixation on him has been observed by others to be a tad excessive; he would appear to be her raison d'etre... the line between loyalty and obsession does not appear to have been drawn. As their relationship has come to a close, Teresa has taken to wearing widow's weeds. She is infinitely less cheery than she was before. The mere mention of Miura is sometimes enough to ruin her entire day.
She does not seem to show real, genuine, sincere care for anyone else.

Teresa has had nothing but negative experiences with the ██████ of Room 312. But Ms. Keating knows more about it than most people, specifically what it is that pleases the ██████ and why it does what it does in lieu of her Occult Club ExperiencesTatsumi Tojo
A member of the Occult Club, elevated to member status directly by Teresa; an uncontroversial move on her part. The pair both wear a crucifix and share the same faith, often bonding over their shared beliefs. She sometimes invites him to lunch or vice-versa, and she has assisted him in preparing for (and hosting) his first club meeting. To date, this has been as far as their friendship has gone.
Yukihime Saotome Hattori
A senior Occult Club member whom Teresa appointed to be 'interim Club Lead Assistant' pending formal internal club elections. Yukihime confides a great many things, voluntarily to Teresa; be they for her safety or peace of mind. She does not hesitate to keep Teresa's more impulsive and rash behavior under control, and for these reasons is particularly trusted.
Harry Shima
A fellow member of the Occult Club. One of Teresa's closest friends with whom she confides almost everything. Harry has notably confided certain paranormal encounters he has had with her and provided her presents from time to time. There was once a time when ██████ , but the time for such things has passed; the feelings extinguished.
Erik Finster
Former Leader of the Occult Club. Teresa values his friendship immensely and considers him 'a great friend of the Church'. She finds his erudition to be 'rare' in Karakura, saluting him on-sight now and again; she clearly places a great deal of value on their friendship. She believes he is destined to bring about 'fundamental' political change in Karakura someday, often referring to him affectionately as 'Mr. President'.
Sakura Nakazumi
A fellow member of the Occult Club and a parishoner deeply involved in service with the Archdiocese. Teresa earnestly believes Sakura to be one of the most innocent and blameless figures in Karakura and sees it as her duty to make her time in the town a pleasant one.
Araya. K Chusi
A young lady whom Teresa met as part of her involvement in a certain exploration group she never speaks about. Teresa has helped Araya with her goals, and recovery after a certain traumatic incident, going above and beyond to care more immediately about her dignity than her health; but tending to both as best she could. The two are very close friends.

COMMENTS BELOW EXTRACTED FROM KEATING'S DIARY
Pomona / Levi Belov
Teresa knows for a fact Pomona has strong feelings for Mei Miura because she told her as much, and often taunts her about this. She concealed this fact for quite a while. For this reason, Teresa harbors great malice that seems to bubble whenever Pomona is mentioned. The same may be said for her brother, Levi Belov who, although not possessing such romantic feelings; irritates her because of his unwillingness to assist Teresa in any meaningful way and for the general spiteful feelings he harbors concerning her. The fact Pomona has CONFIRMED feelings and has taunted Teresa about them warrants her a place at the top of this list.

She also happened to overhear Nathen refer to Mr. Miura as "little Mei"
For these reasons, Teresa harbors extreme suspicions towards this man. She does not care if there is a possibility that there is no 'real love' between the pair; the possibility such love could be felt by one or both parties is enough for her to harbor extreme malice.
Sachiko Saiky and Carlisle Fox
'Both have burst into the Occult Club Room only to harass me and say words calculated to deliver the most extreme emotional harm they could've done at that moment. I have forgiven them, of course. But I will not forget this... especially that Carlisle. His words were most dangerous indeed. I will never forget them'. Teresa also saw Carlisle kiss and confess his undying love for Mei Miura and, even though she has reason to believe this wasn't sincere: she harbors extreme malice as a result of this incident, and other unkind words exchanged between the pair.
Carlisle, for his part, is most unreliable, as well as cruel. He shall have much to suffer.

Abdullah N. Stavropoulos
"I try to see the good in everyone, but this one- I am ashamed to say I often find myself wishing I did not have to see or hear of him ever again. But he is hardly the worst, though I hate his pity, I would prefer pity to wrath".
Cheri Cho
"So, supposedly this bitch fell in a pool and Mei Miura, IN HIS INFINITE MERCY, afforded her his sports jacket. I used to wear that jacket. I asked her to give it to me, but she couldn't do that. No, no, the dumb girl HAD to ask him. Couldn't just trust me. I am infinitely more deserving of wearing that thing. She didn't even realize how precious it was. It was nothing to her. She should've just given it to me but she had to be a bitch about it. I'll teach her a lesson one day. Oh well. I still have several more of Mei's clothes <3 He won't be getting them back anytime soon. I'm so lucky!"
[?] 'Katsumi'
Katsumi, for her part, does not seem very fond of Teresa either. This fact can be recognized easily in lieu of...
- The spirit suggesting it was 'about time' her former boyfriend terminated their relationship.
- The spirit suggesting Teresa was 'weak willed', 'worthless' and crazy: 'crazy bitch'
- The spirit suggesting Teresa was unlovable and 'pathetic', 'can't even keep a boyfriend'.
- The spirit suggesting there was nothing virtuous about Teresa
These words have had a hugely detrimental impact, but Teresa is adamant on proving one of her statements to be false.
[HS President] Emma Emerson
HS Council President. Reviled for having the audacity to slam a door in Teresa's face when she was simply visiting the council house after school. Emma seems to look down upon Teresa for voluntarily leaving the council. Since this incident, the pair have been at odds, with the president being dubbed by Sister Keating to be "the most superficial person" she knows.
[HS Cheer Captain] Valentina Cruz
"A trifling bully with no virtue who sometimes wears unimaginative approximations of the attire worn by religious sisters to make up for the fact she is bankrupt of any virtue. She desecrates the Karakura Church and has the gall to call herself 'Queen of Heaven' in the very same Church. Surely she'd be banished from the shrine if she did anything similar there. AND she called me a bitch once. TOXIC"
Kozo Hamasaki
Teresa finds him to be "as sinful as his miserable relative, Kotoro, who is no longer with us". She was dragged to the school bathrooms by him and almost swirlied for refusing to admit that she'd thrown a bottle of whiskey at a member of the Cheer-Team. Fortunately, Teresa resisted and beat Kozo unconscious without a scratch, promptly robbing him, hoping to donate his money to charity. She was compelled to return the money later. The pair barely speak with one another.
Will Brown [Shopkeeper, 11/7]
Teresa brought 11/7's false advertising to light on social media. They had signs up saying hot dogs cost 1,500 yen and 1,900 if you wanted mustard. When she observed the Family Store used to sell them cheaper... she got kicked out of the store. 11/7 promptly took to Onrain and suggested they NEVER overcharged for their hot dogs. When this lie was pointed out on Onrain, and the fact the shopkeeper had quickly rushed to scrub out the display signs in the store so they read '200 yen' for both hot dogs, this was highlighted by Teresa's employer: the Archdiocese of Karakura. The store owner said of the ordeal it was a bunch of 'yap'. Teresa wants an apology and feels the owner of 11/7 is guilty of the sin of greed and only told her to 'SHUT UP' during her complaints in-store because he did not like being held accountable for false advertising.
COMMENTS BELOW EXTRACTED FROM KEATING'S DIARY
Pomona / Levi Belov
Teresa knows for a fact Pomona has strong feelings for Mei Miura because she told her as much, and often taunts her about this. She concealed this fact for quite a while. For this reason, Teresa harbors great malice that seems to bubble whenever Pomona is mentioned. The same may be said for her brother, Levi Belov who, although not possessing such romantic feelings; irritates her because of his unwillingness to assist Teresa in any meaningful way and for the general spiteful feelings he harbors concerning her. The fact Pomona has CONFIRMED feelings and has taunted Teresa about them warrants her a place at the top of this list.

Tori Saiky
Deemed by Teresa to be nothing more than a snobby member of an elitist, out-of-touch family. She told Teresa she sold her soul with no hint of irony. Particularly despised due to her hostility towards Mei Miura
[?] 'Katsumi'
"This red-kimono wearing spectre; she blew in my ear, implied I was stupid yet.... yet gives [Mei Miura] HIGH PRAISE? NO. It took incredible restraint to feign politeness and sit idly by. Like, she does all this NONSENSE and expects us to BOW TO HER? Incredible".
