Mechanic, her role is more like being a setting mechanic

think of mechanic as in videogames, like the screen in some plataformers which is constantly moving forward: It exists, it completely conditions the game, but here's no information about it on the setting, the story in-game cant really interact with the mechanic (unless you get too meta)

of course she is included in the story and interacts with the characters, but her role is closer to that of a setting mechanic
