Biography of Siobhan

It is a pleasure to have Siobhan in the cabinet. Well-liked by everyone, happy and positive she takes her time to talk and listen and now and then it happens she will give you a hug.

Regarding talking however it requieres you know exactly where to push into her tummy - otherwise she remains silent.

English by origin she carries a Scottish name which is due to her ancestors, somehow connected to Bonnie the Prince up there in the Highlands.

Since Prins Charles has arrived she has become even more pigheaded, this little honey. But at least she does possess a fine dress and a pearl necklace.
