A quick plan with some thoughts;
[X] Card Sharping. There's no shortage of popular gambling games where skill matters. So long as there's people around willing to play, a skilled gambler won't go hungry. And Vasilisa knows how to avoid and deal with accusations of being a cheat.
I like this one because it lends itself well to an interesting setting, as well as several scenarios it could be used on. It's got that classic tavern vibe to it; there's always people willing to gamble away their winnings in a game of chance, in rundown ramshackle taverns as well as nicer places. There's also the chance to play dice with guards on a shift, or wiling away the time on a train playing games with people for no particular reward, etc.
The others are nice skills in their own, but I think this one in particular will make for some interesting scenes I'd like to see.
[X] Scrimshaw. There's always certain beast bones that the craftsmen don't want. Vasilisa has taken to keeping the spares for her carving knife.
[X] Diary & Drawing. It's easy to forget places and people, everything blurring together. Vasilisa likes to ensure she can remember.
And I like these two options because both provide smaller moments of entertainment, but they speak to someone with an artistic bent, and provide for some nice/interesting scenes depending on what she draws/makes.
Nothing big, but I think the three choices in conjunction have the potential to be pretty interesting!
