She is a conservative.

Explanation:

Lensky's status inconsistency theories predict that people whose status is inconsistent will be more frustrated and dissatisfied than people with consistent statuses. Since she is satisfied with her status, she has a consistent status that is, she will be a conservative. She will keep to the traditions and hierarchies of the state.

Conservatism is a political and social philosophy promoting traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization. The central tenets of conservatism include tradition, organic society, hierarchy, authority, and property rights.
