And your language is a bit confusing here - why are you saying that Hilgya's family was the head of a clan? What is that supposed to mean?
Depending on the laws she could end up voting in her clan's place if its head is dusted or something along those lines. It would require a chain of assumptions, but it's at least notionally possible.

That said, she's not going to resolve this situation herself, since she's not one of the protagonists. If she does play a role it will be like Julio Scoundrel, ie. as part of a plan set in motion by a member of the OOTS, or as a result of their actions.
