We cannot know this from material remains.

It is beyond what the archaeological record can tell us.

We do not know her name, or whether names existed in any form we would recognize among the Neanderthals of Shanidar Cave.

We do not know what she actually looked like.

The reconstruction is a scientifically grounded estimate, not a portrait.

These are genuine unknowns.

They are not embarrassments to be hidden or gaps to be papered over with confident-sounding prose.

They are the honest limits of what 75,000-year-old crushed bone and cave sediment can reveal.
