I don’t understand why we need a contrast word for severe and genial when there is an “and”. Also , logically how can someone be lenient and severe and genial and aloof at the same time?

The word “At once” suggests they need to be 2 different things, and also “an enigma” is telling us that she has conflicting/contrasting qualities. It’s quite tricky, but the “and” is indeed a contrast in this particular sentence.
Got it! Thank you!
