I also gave her an Irish accent for some reason.Now the PCs have overheard a random conversation (swashbuckling: It's all about the coincidences) in which some young man is chuckling at the fact that the feisty young woman is in love with him and thinks he loves her, when in fact he's just using her to get to the noble's secret magical trove.  And the daughter, while still slapping the bodyguard across the face and declaring that she needs no protection, is occasionally fixing her eyes, as deep and hazel as... uh... hazel... upon the bodyguard with a soft, speculative look when she thinks he isn't looking.  And the noble keeps mentioning the importance of protecting his daughter's innocence.  And the player just knows he's going to wake up next to her one morning with amusing and combat-probable consequences.</blockquote>
