After unknowingly knocking over a vase, Wekapipo discovered that his sister was rendered almost completely blind from the beatings due to a wounded portion of her optic nerve.
When Wekapipo was exiled, he thought she died in 1889. She fell down some stairs when she was working which broke her left shoulder and bruised her head. It was considered taboo for anyone to take care of her, but the Zeppeli family took her in as a patient. Gyro went against the advice of his mother and attempted to perform surgery, but "fortunately" failed. Had he succeeded, she would have suffered from a more tragic future.
