تناقص روعها

Arabic to English Art/Literary Computers (general)
Hi everyone,

This is from a Sudanese text.

What does it mean in this context please?

لأن سارة أخذت تستحم عدّة مرّات في اليوم بعد أن تناقص روعها ...

It's talking about a woman who usually has a foul smell, but has started showering more.

Thanks!

Was she afraid?
Do they mention her beauty?

her beauty deteriorated

If the text indicates that she was once beautiful but its beauty has started to fade, then I suggest "she started showring several times a day after her beauty deteriorated
