Pre-80s she would've been starting to come into her own, I think. She'd been without her sire for some time, having to trudge through life on her own and blossoming from it. She's always been the type to be like, "I don't need anyone to get by". part of her trust issues. She was hardened, but when it comes to women, I feel like she's a whoooole lot softer with friendship/understanding. She does like finding the few that she can put her all into because she does have a soft spot somewhere within her. She could've totally helped her away from the grove if you're looking for that. like a "come with me. see the world. be a companion". Or if she wasn't the one to talk her into it, they could've met somewhere along Rory's travels had she come to Greece (which I don't see why she wouldn't because she's been on the search for her sire, so she'd be willing to go anywhere).
