Ask her if SHE were the police detective, what would she investigate first. Run her through the flower shops, the district of town (use your home town for familiarity), through some suspects (Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, etc.) Totally statless, just "what do you do?" Any calls for backup? That's where the other players come in - they would be the partners, the buddy in the crime lab, etc.Is she a sports fan? Describe the extreme rock climber climbing a mountain, with few tools, and having to determine along the way if she faces any challenges, e.g. slippery footing, crumbling handholds, decisions on tougher and quicker paths versus slower but safer, etc.Fan of Spy thrillers? You've got it made. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
