Despite not being the king's first wife, she likely carried a high level of political power; she is described on Naranjo Stela 24 as an ochk'in kalo'mte' (loosely, "western autocrat"). This term was typically only associated with high-ranking nobility.

It is also possible that she had one more daughter.

The main wife of Bʼalaj Chan Kʼawiil was Lady of Itzan.
