Former Academy Senior Fellow of the Social Sciences department

With husand, developed the first compelling model of convergent development, now widely called CF Theory

Heiress to a considerable fortune left to her by her father, Antony Coralhouse
Left a clause in her will for a PCL45 million bequest jointly to the Academy and the Centre for Reality Research
The will specified that the money must be used to develop a method for transporting physical matter between Perplex City and Earth, with the aim that her ashes be transported to Greece and scattered over the Mediterranean Ocean on Earth
Her will also specified that her ashes should be kept in a replica Grecian urn in a Greek-style temple on the Great Lawn

Her Dying bequest has been denied by the academy; That is, they won't accept the PCL45 million grant, because they don't want to be pushed into working on something they wouldnt otherwise do.
The academy is willing, however, to send her ashes to Earth, should such a thing become possible in the future.
Until that time, her ashes are being kept in an elaborate urn on the Academy grounds.
