You can draw secrets and confidences out of them, should you choose, or use your charms to convince people of almost anything - so long as it's something they'd already want to beleive, and you know when people are trying to trick you.

Suggested Characteristics

Successful Courtesans have to be able to capture and hold attention, and tend to be beautiful, confident and self-assured. They are not necesarily callous, but they are used to placing a value on their time and abilities. Flaws might come from arrogance, disdain, or a lack of self-awareness.
