Circumstances describe your situation.
Examples include enemies, wealth, notoriety, social status, contacts, fame, and imprisonment.
Because each Playgroup has its own setting, Circumstances record the Playgroup they were acquired in.
Conditions describe your state of being.
Examples of Conditions include curses, diseases, and impactful personality quirks.
Conditions are granted by Assets and Liabilities or by GMs based on the events of Contracts and Downtime activities like Moves, and Loose Ends.
Because Conditions may have GM-created systems, they also record the Playgroup they were acquired in.
Loose Ends will cause problems for you if you don't tie them up.
Examples of Loose Ends include enemies, debts, evidence, and promises.
All Loose Ends have a Cutoff that counts down each time you attend a Contract. When it hits zero, the Threat of your Loose End manifests, causing issues for your Contractor.
You cannot see the current values of your Loose Ends' Cutoffs, but you can take initiative and make Moves on your Downtimes to deal with them before time runs out.

Ever since she was young, Flara watched and learned from her mother the properties of different plants and how to use them to benefit people. It's a family tradition for the Floreners to know their ways with nature. Although being a herbalist and having a love for plants wasn't rare in the Florener family, Flara was exceptional with her ability to memorize things quickly and dedication to this subject. Soon, while other kids played in the park, she was observing the dandelions and could identify the types of 'grass' in that patch of grass.
When she was a late teen, she was well known for her skill in the field. Flara lived her teenage years showered in compliments and achivements. Even though her family raised her to not be too prideful, she was still confident in her abilities. Many lives were improved or even saved by her.
Things went well for her, until, her girlfriend at that time, Martha, refused to listen to her and had an addiction with smoking. She talked to her about it, and Martha pretended to listen, but in reality, she just smoked whenever Flara wasn't around. Martha had her own issues she was struggling with, but never felt comfortable seeking help from Flara, since she felt distant whenever Flara would be invested in herbalism. Time flies fast and before Flara knows it, things were too late. Martha was diagnosed with cancer and Flara couldn't do anything to make her recover.
Martha spent her last days being honest with Flara and finally opening up to her.
After the death of her lover, Flara was furious and dissapointed at herself for not noticing what her girlfriend was going through, as well as her lack of ability to save her. Her confidence was destroyed and she isolated herself for a while before slowly getting back on her feet with the help from her family and friends. She invested more time and energy on making the family bakery bigger and better known, then set on her journeys to improve her knowledge and skills even further.
She hopes that one day she'll be able to save more people and fill the hole made by the guilt she put on herself (death of Martha, her lover). It's a endless goal, she knows, but it keeps her going and she's willing to sacrifice herself - something she now deems lesser - for it.
Florener's Bakery - A family business that grew bigger and better once she took over as the owner, is now one of her main source of income, besides her house-visits as a herbalist doctor.
