Despite dealing with her rough-and-tumble clientele on a daily basis, she has a maternal nature and often acts as a den mother for the town's cohort of young constables, offering them lodging in her pub, and a friendly ear if they need it. She hates being called "Mrs. Riley", and is known universally as Chris, or occasionally "Chrissy". She does have a redhead's temper, however, and she is more than willing to ban someone from her pub, or give them an earful if she feels they deserve it.
