Her role in the Ring is not precisely identified. Sir James Kleek, in discussion with British intelligence officials, opined that she might be a dedicated killer, an assassin. At one point, Sir Stafford Nye tells Colonel Pikeaway that he thinks he knows who Juanita is but this point is not developed. It is not until the end of the story that her real identity is revealed.
