### Hunt on The Powerless Arc

After the commotion that happened outside regarding the attacks on the powerless, Loretta calls it a nuisance, adding that the Mansion's order became a mess. She adds it would be better to just announce who has soot powers, this has angered Barbara. She then says that despite Barbara having high soot quantity, she was never seen using soot powers, suggesting Barbara wasn't able to use soot power. Loretta was excited as she wanted to see the duel between Douglas and Gilbert.

Loretta, alongside Elizabeth were stopped by Kate when she accused them of being the culprits behind incidents of the Hunt on the powerless. Loretta was angered by this, thinking that Kate wanted to raise her own evaluation by this statement. Loretta then uses her Soot power, turning her nails into sharp claws, and charges towards James. She was then stuck to James's soot power, which then Kate restrains her and Elizabeth, but shortly after sets them free and thanks them for cooperating with her to blame the real culprits, the Disciplinary Team.

Loretta then got mad at Kate, when she described her as sharp tongued. Kate then comes to her defense by explaining that Loretta and Elizabeth were innocent. She and Elizabeth then announce their full support to Kate.

Shortly after, Gilbert and Shaun show up, with both agreeing on a duel, Gilbert orders Elizabeth and Loretta to go and get Evelyn and Bertram. Loretta says things would go crazy if they informed Susanna after Elizabeth suggested that. Elizabeth asks Loretta on who she thinks would win the Duel. She responds that even though she supports Kate now, she doesn't think John has a chance to win over Gilbert, calling him a "Grim Reaper".

As they reach to Evelyn and Bertram, Loretta was stopped by Elizabeth from explaining the situation since she was quite loud and mad. After explaining the situation, both of them were told to stay in the room to look out to the place. Loretta then was shown to be annoyed when Nicolas came for a tiny scratch.

### Soot Ivy Incident Arc

At the beginning of the arc, she was seen alongside other people inside Kate's new room after she was appointed as the new Star bearer.
