Nora wants to make a living with her tattoo-parlour. And to stay away from her Sire (who is, I guess, still wanting her back). She keeps mostly to herself, tries to stay out of trouble, and does her best to hide the fact that she's not a Toreador. She does try to get better at Vicissitude (practicing on herself and on rats), even though the discipline repulses her to some extent - but her lack of knowledge might be used against her in the future, so she tries to learn by trial and error.

Nora doesn't want trouble and is badly equipped to deal with it - she has no firearms skill whatsoever, and though she knows some self-defense and how to wield a knife (detailed knowledge of anatomy is a useful thing), she would quickly go under in a fight.

But life isn't fair, right? smiley: laugh There are several things that could lead to trouble. The Camarilla in D might find out she's a Tzim - and think that she's a Sabbat spy. The Sabbat might get wind of her and try to convert her. Her Sire might show up on her doorstep with a couple of szláchta and a grin. And then there are the hunters... and lots of other things I haven't even thought of yet.
