Haha, the haters will hate.

Oh, come on, I've never noticed any hatred towards unattractive women in myself...

and what about whores?

IT WAS CHARMING.

In the tavern of Ilthan sat a girl dressed in clothes darker than night in the heart of the forest. Or was it just a visual effect? Honestly, if you saw her on a clear day in the street, you might think her clothes were green. Well, dark green. The girl observed and listened. She was good at both, which compensated for her complete silence.
A small group of three people entered the tavern. Often, people come to taverns to get drunk, but these three had another goal. They were already quite tipsy, so they didn't come to the tavern for that reason. Perhaps they wanted to spectacularly conclude their successful drinking session. One of them noticed the girl sitting in the corner.
"Hic... guys... isn't that the circus performer?"
"Where?" asked the second one.
"There!"
"Where?" added the third.
"Right there!"
The "guys" stared intently at the dimly lit corner of the tavern until they were convinced that someone was indeed sitting there.
"No! That circus performer was from Teiosia, I'm sure!"
"Nope! I said right away that you were wrong. And here we are!"
"She floated during the performance!" the interlocutor gestured with his hands. "She hovered above the ground. Definitely from Teiosia."
"Did she float in a cloak? Like this, hop, wings under the cloak? That's ridiculous!"
"Should we go ask her?"
"Yeah!"
The trio stumbled towards the table where the girl was sitting. However, she noticed their interest and preferred to avoid such company. She stood up and disappeared, diving into the shadows nearby. The "fans" remained standing in confusion.
"Squirrel?"
"Collective?"
"Yes... Hey, barkeep, pour me another!"

In the alleyway, the unexpected appearance of the Dzhonkhian startled a stray cat. Until that moment, the cat believed that appearing out of nowhere was its exclusive prerogative. How did this happen?
The girl named Yu Min decided that she had wandered around enough and it was time to go to work. Although she was starting to think that being a circus performer wasn't quite the right profession for her. Yu Min, an orphan, had tried many different types of activities in order to survive. But she always wanted more. She was drawn to everything mysterious, magical… Well, and of course, profitable too. And here… there was essentially nothing of all that. Well, maybe she would find another job. It seems that there are mercenary groups in the city now? That might be suitable.
Yu Min, who hadn't received anything from life except brief help from friends and mentors she met along the way, always tried to take as much as possible. For this reason, she left Lapistia at one time because she decided that she could find something suitable for herself in Ertenia, rather than engaging in various shady dealings alone. Because of this, already in Ertenia, she became interested in the teachings of Shai. The group should provide new opportunities, and she hoped for these opportunities, no matter what.

* Here and further -- a draft that may obviously change, as I am not sure about the balance of ideas.

and what about prostitutes?

Doubtful... More likely, it's unpleasant. Although, there's Sonya Marmeladova... Anything can happen!

1. No
2. Yes
3. No

1. Yes
2. No
3. No

Sonya is not a slut; she is a prostitute. These are different things.

1. Yes - 3, No - 5
2. Yes - 3, No - 5
3. Yes - 5, No - 3

That's how it seems to work, if I haven't mixed anything up.
