	\|		\|Your character has the good fortune to have a best mate. He stands with your character through thick and thin. They’ve shared jokes, tragedies and all the highs and lows of life over the years, all of which has forged a bond between them that some married couples never achieve. Perhaps they were at school or worked together. While your character might not be able to share the truth of her real nature with her friend, she can rely on him to back her up to the best of his abilities without asking too many difficult questions. A best friend is closer to you and more committed to helping you than an ally, but he demands far more in return. He goes that extra mile to get them out of trouble that an ally wouldn’t, but he counts on her to do the same for him.

			\|Your character doesn’t just dress well, she has an innate sense of what sort of clothes suit a particular occasion. This sense isn’t a case of slavishly following the latest trends from the hottest designers either, it’s a matter of knowing when to dress smart and when to be casual and having the know-how to carry it off on a limited budget. Subtract one from the difficulty of Social rolls in situations where dressing appropriately is important, such as in a business meeting, chatting at a club or attending an upper-crust function.
