Secretive dwarf stands in corner

ärith RimtargÇbar, Peasant cancels Store Item in Bag: Taken by mood.
ärith RimtargÇbar, Peasant withdraws from society...
ärith RimtargÇbar has claimed a Craftsdwarf's Workshop.
ärith RimtargÇbar has begun a mysterious construction!

Unfortunately, at this point a bunch of goblins invaded.  Lots of tasks were interrupted, but not the mysterious construction.  The goblins were reduced to pincushions, and lots of goblin chunks were hauled to trash.

When I check on the secretive dwarf again, she's standing in the corner of a corridor, doing nothing.  She still has a strange mood, but she shows no inclination to go back to the workshop.

Should I start walling her in to protect from tantrums?

That is very strange. Check the workshop, are the objects they collected still sitting in the workshop, with TSK next to them indicating they are in use and also aren't being taken to stockpiles? Also would be very informative if the workshop is no longer being 'claimed' by the moody dwarf.

All I can think of to try is to build a new workshop of the same type, and see if it flips some sort of flag that makes the moody dwarf go back to a workshop. Just in case make sure you have one of each workshop, I've never heard of it happening before but maybe they've decided to work at a jeweler's or something instead.

There was a chalk crown in the workshop along with two types of rock, all marked with TSK.  Some time later, the crown was hauled away by another dwarf, so maybe errant haulers were the problem.  All this time, the workshop was still being claimed by her.

I tried to build another craft workshop, but by the time that was done she had gone insane.  I last saw her running towards a nearby river, naked but for a thin coating of mud, babbling to herself.

At least she was only a peasant.
