>> Dayum. TyLa has a *look*, and I don't mean the stare.<<

>> It's visibly high-class Italian mobster, *and* it looks good on her. I think it's the choice of red as the accent colour. <<

The better gangs trade members if they have someone who would be a better match elsewhere. TyLa just fit with the Italians.

>> Though if it was me I'd learn to tie a better knot; that's the one flaw. (It does kinda go with the dreds, though. It sorta says "look, I'm bad-ass enough not to HAVE to make it look neat, so just come quietly or....") <<

That knot isn't an accident. ;)
