This gun moll accompanied the Northside Territory Boss Bela Okmyx, doubling as one of his personal guards. She had the tendency to chew gum and carried a pistol on her at all times.

She buzzed Kalo in when he brought Captain Kirk, Spock and Doctor McCoy up to the office in his headquarters shortly after their arrival in 2268. She pointed her pistol at Kirk when he refused to cooperate with Bela.

She was later present during the beamdown of Spock and Dr. McCoy to Bela's office, and indeed Bela told her: "Now, you watch this." A short time later, she surrendered her pistol, dropping it on the ground, when Kirk busted into Bela's office with a Tommy gun in hand.

She sat the remainder of the time on a couch in Okmyx's office, under the watch of Dr. McCoy. She later joined the commotion that had taken over Bela's office prior to the agreement to Kirk's terms of establishing a syndicate on the planet. (TOS: "A Piece of the Action")

It was then that Kirk took a look at his suit and told him "that's nice material," Kalo spoke up in his defense and said "it outta be, it cost a bundle." Kirk proceeded to order the two hoods to undress, so that he and Spock could disguise themselves as Iotian gangsters; with Spock wearing this hood's clothes.
