Getting Reflexes (or possibly just any Agility class) to 30 lets you train Sports

Week 1:
+1 cheerful after normal actions.
- Talking to Charlotte - +1 cheerful, -1 lonely. You have several chances to talk to her.
- Talking to Dad - +1 lonely.
I think it's worth it to rush production + trade, so we need to get into a mood for that

Week 2:
The choice here has some pretty big impacts on the rest of the game.
Sending her away +1 angry, +1 yielding
She stays +1 willful
- Talking to Charlotte - nothing if you dismiss Julianna
 or Dad - unsure

Week 3:
Your first skill test. It's a Reflexes test. Passed at 30
Raises Afraid if failed. Raises Angry if passed.
- Talked to Dad; he explains why he thinks your mother died

Week 4:
Talked to Dad, Cheerful/Yielding +1 (also adorable)

Week 5:
Duke of Sedna gift. Ugh why didn't I study foreign affairs
Foreign Affairs test, failed
Court Manners test, passed at 40, if passed...
- yes +1 willful
- no ??

Week 6:
This is new. Lore test to identify what I assume a Lumen is
- Talked to Dad to get my crystal, he said no, I got Willful for it

Week 7

Because I failed that, I passed a reflexes test to dodge my clumsy maid
I think this may actually be bad to pass, I dunno; possibly if I pass elegance? I dunno

Foreign history test, passed 30
Foreign affairs test, failed
