she's actually quite young in comparison to guin, as guin was in the caribbean in the 1700s-1800s as a pirate. she'd at least know of the lore, of the people, and perhaps even knew of shani's familial lineage since she had a bit of a "life" in naussau, bahamas. could we say that she's an old ally of her family? she could operate a bit like a cousin/aunt in some way?? though she'd likely get shani into trouble with her own shenanigans
