Savvies & Ineptitudes

Morana is particularly good at knowing where to go and who to ask in order to procure specific and rare items. She has a excellent memory, which helps her maintain many connections. She is skilled at bargaining and almost always comes out on top. She has a funny way of persuading others to give her what she needs, or pay plentifully for what they seek.
 
On the flip side, Morana doesn't have much of what you'd call "better judgement." Her intelligence and pragmatic nature often lead her to jump into situations, without considering the possible consequences. Her poor decisions are typically due to her curiousity, greed, or lack of common sense.

Likes & Dislikes

Though money appears to be her primary motive, she relishes in being needed and sought out for specific jobs. She likes drinking and eating her fill (and more). Her favorite place to relax is the local shady dive pub. It's where she is most likely to be found when she's not on a mission.

Her primary flaw is a lack of insight into her own actions. She doesn't always question when things seems too good to be true; and she has occocasionally said the wrong thing to the wrong person. These poor decisions haven't resulted in many reprecusions, due to her persuasive and charismatic nature.
