Background Information
She has been Prince Gerard's personal nanny since he was small boy, mostly cooking and cleaning around the castle. When Imperia arrived to oversee the young prince, she had been told he was ill and believed her; this began the three years of his imprisonment in his own dungeon.
Upon his freedom thanks to Clockwork Smurf, she did not recognize Prince Gerard because of his tattered clothes. Rather than squarely have him removed from the castle, though, she treated him kindly -- even giving him some food -- before sending him out with a warning not to return, mostly in fear of his safety.
Once he proved he was the prince and that Imperia had betrayed everyone by her lies about his illness, Mrs. Sourberry lost her trust for the woman and readily embraced having Gerard in his proper home. She personally apologized for her loyalty to his aunt, which he forgave with consideration for her kindness during his initial escape, and was so reinstated as his nanny. Since then, she has remained faithful to his majesty and has come to adore Clockwork.
Personality
She is a trusting, gentle, and kindhearted woman, but has been naïve at times. She sees the boy-king as a son and typically supports his thoughts and beliefs about running his kingdom, especially since he cares greatly about his subjects. She is capable of putting her foot down, but seldom requires doing so because he has been a good child for as long as she has known him.
Her old age has given her advantages when raising him; during the years before Imperia's arrival, she would guide him away from negative influences and more towards positive ones. However, should he be curious about something she felt was bad for him, she would do her best to explain the situation. Ultimately, he would come to his own conclusions from witnessing badness or from her showing him the goodness that should be done over the bad.
