1) Yes. She had a few steady boyfriends when she was living in the village. The most important of which was her first boyfriend Brennan. But they weren't in love.
2) I think she might understand boys better as she's not particularly girly, but she really doesn't have a preference.
3) Yes, though it's certainly no bard's song. She is more accustomed to battle songs or drinking songs sung in groups.
4) She doesn't particularly care about jewelry to be honest. Things are not the best way to win her affections.
5) It depends on the sort of strength you are talking about. She would say probably, though she has not met many women who were mercenaries. Seda was able to best her in battle but that was not a one-on-one fight.
