No worries.  I also didn't really expect her to become the center of the adventure so quickly and her personality is still a bit in flux.  No mysterious past, as she doesn't really have any dark secrets: no sojourn at a Blue Sun facility or time as an agent.  After all, the cons started as a sort of pretending that her life wasn't boring, dull, doomed and unexceptional rather than intentional efforts to cheat.  Nor is she lying (at least not much) about her past to the crew: but like most people, she's not going to volunteer her mental trauma and psychological issues as dinner table gossip; it's the sort of stuff that's there to come out in the adventure.<br/><br/>And yeah, I was going with the security of slightly trusting her crew too; but while she's thinking of being a bit more honest, if she didn't lie, cheat or steal she wouldn't have much of a point, either :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">certainly by now they seemed to realize she wasn't just a two bit stage magician, but her particular talents weren't something she ever talked about directly.  She was quick with her hands and had a clever smile, that's all they needed to know.  Usually, it was all they wanted to know. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That sums it up well, I think.<br/><br/>As for the show's morality, Hope hasn't got a thing on Jayne.  She's also likely to have one of the lowest body counts to her name, compared to all the mercenaries we've got on board ready to kill people.  She's not out to hurt others, she's just not really concerned if it happens.  And she's honest with herself about being a criminal.<br/><br/>I like the cards idea, will go with that.  I considered the magician angle, but that's really just what she's doing for the moment - and probably not a lot of that if she's pretty entrenched in the crew.
