Wild Steel Saga

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!
 
[X] Handloading. With the right tools and know-how, it's possible to craft one's own ammunition. And Vasilisa knows that buying components is always cheaper than buying finished products.
[X] Music & Dancing. A good tune is enough to warm any heart. Vasilisa is proud of her singing voice.
[X] Storytelling. Living means being able to feel, and a good story will move any heart. Vasilisa has an ear for tales and a talent for retelling them.
 
Remember at the last second to check the siight's distance correction setting, then lower the barrel to compensate.

Handloading and Trinket Making go very well together. The second hobby is just a matter of preference.

[x] Trinket Making. Making something pretty needn't take more than bits of wood and bone, colored string, and maybe a pretty rock or two. Vasilisa enjoys seeing what she can improvise from whatever is at hand.
 
[X] Sewing. Clothes are too expensive to just replace if they're damaged. Hiring a seamstress for patching and repairs is cheaper. And Vasilisa knows that being the seamstress is even cheaper yet.
[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.

Handloading is in the lead for Vasilisa's side job. For her hobbies, Storytelling is in the lead with a tie for second place between Music & Dancing and Diary & Drawing. I'll leave voting open for six more hours, then flip a coin for any tiebreaking needed.
