* ''You've been able to find work as a dancer in Messantia, Sylia. What venues serve your needs best? Something near the docks and warehouses, where you can make connections with working men who know the ins and outs of how the city and its merchant families work? Do you prefer the more affluent venues the merchants themselves frequent? Or have you sought influence in the Temple District, amongst the clerks and clergy of Mitra, Ishtar, and Ibis? Perhaps shadier establishments -- where you can make acquaintance with cutpurses, burglars, and bravos -- will be your route to vengeance.''
 
−
Sylia's upbringing is still fairly upper-crust despite her misfortunes, and she's stuck mainly to that stratum of society, working the classier venues. Branching her social network beyond that would probably help her get allies and information, but that's probably something she'll learn on this adventure. She has taken lessons in dance and other things at a temple of Ishtar, however, and largely abandoned even the nominal faith in Mitra that Zingarans usually espouse.

*''Do you work alone when it's time for your knife to have the last word? If not, do you assemble comrades around you, or are the people you work with hirelings?''
 
−
So far she's mainly worked alone, but only been able to pick off minor targets of her vengeance at best. She's gotten much more 'practice' on random louts causing trouble for the dancers she's worked among. She knows she needs allies but has had trouble establishing trust. Joining the crew would be one of her first steps in seeking proper allies.

*''Do you spend time imagining what life will look like once your vengeance is done? If so, what do you imagine? Or is your vision solely blood and ruin that so very many need to pay?''
 
−
As blood feuds are simply a fact of life among the upper-clas families of Zingara, she's hoping for a day that she can once again have wealth and comfort, perhaps owning a sprawling villa overlooking a vinyard, while pursuing her continued vengeance as a hobby. That's far from her situation now, and not likely to come about, but an opportunity to return to wealth and ease would be almost as tempting as an opportunity for vengeance.
