VaronilesBiography:
From Lima, she is described (remarkably) as neither beautiful nor a coquette: "es mucho hombre esta mujer". Her discretion and ingenuity made up for her lack of feminine attractions. She was a devout patriot and gave full support to her husband Count San Pascual. (Parra de Riego, 250)
