(Don't look at me like that, Balmung, hard truths cut both ways.) I'd stick to Merenary's point of view. Do what you want to do and RP with the people who gravitate towards it. Don't worry about the rest.
Yay, thanks for the advice! I think the three of you make a compelling point about not trying to please everyone and to just RP with people with the right people, I'll try to do just that.

And you want all of this in place before you sew in the "RP Hooks," yes?
Yes, pretty much exactly that. She wouldn't dare try to claim herself a place among nobility and isn't really a citizen, especially after she goes out to live an adventurer's life. I wanted to make sure I had a coherent story as a foundation before I moved on to Rp hooks and the RP itself.
