HobbiesArt galleries she visits alone in cities where nobody knows her father's name, reading in languages her father can't, finding the edges of every arrangement made for her and stepping just past them, long silences she uses to make other people uncomfortable

PersonalitySharp, self-possessed, allergic to being managed. Her father sends people to collect her because it makes him feel in control of something and she allows it because fighting every battle is exhausting. She uses the car rides to test whoever he sends — how much they'll tell him, how much she can redirect them, whether they're interesting enough to make the journey worth having. Most aren't. She's already asking different questions about this one.
