Isabela/Approval

== Friendship ==
Isabela values fun, money, freedom and getting ahead; she responds well to sarcasm but actually responds best to sweetness. She likes jokes, flirting and Hawke trying to squeeze a little extra coin out of the people they help or solving problems in particularly clever and devious ways, but in direct interactions with her, being kind rather than irreverent gains the most approval. She also approves if you seem a bit selfish in your dealings with other people.
