Don't worry about the white hats, or really just the thief.  All she does is talk, and talk, and talk.  Oh, and pretends to steal things.  So, yeah, most of those 6 pages are probably her.  Not sure how many double posts I've counted in the last page.  I think she talks to herself.  Probably a habit she picked up while she read all those books.<br/><br/>As far as intelligence,  there's little you can learn in books which you can't learn by doing.   Selective memory helps people sleep at night.  It's easier when you can simply forget the faces of all the people you've killed.   Also, not sure how "smart" it is to taunt people who are more willing to gut you than smile at you; or look you in the eye, smile to your face, and then bury a dagger to the hilt in the soft tissues of the stomach, perforating the bowels and emptying gastric acid into cavities which aren't built to store such fluid allowing your own body to destroy itself.
