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.

Not a lot to put here yet that isn't in the questionnaire. (those are firsthand and this isn't, so I'm sure there's more to come)
One important thing to mention though is Kat's views on justice. As may be clear by now, it's not about laws or even murder. It's about harming others. Not accidentally or minor hurts, but the people who actively and consistently cause harm. While she'll get annoyed with bullies, she gets furious with billionaires. She's sincerely stated more than once that you don't get to be that rich without harming others. The only exceptions she's admitted to are in entertainment, and if they don't use their wealth to help others they're almost as guilty.
She may scold or scare people who need to change their ways, but the truly corrupt get no excuses. If they can't be severed from their crimes, she just might sever something else. She hasn't had to do more than break bones, yet.
It may also be important to note that the location of her gym is currently an empty lot and has been for over a decade. Construction began this year for a (projected) 400 unit affordable housing complex. It's less than an acre of space, with an estimated 50 floors, so that's 8 tiny units per floor. And yes, as mentioned in the questionnaire, it's an out of state development firm, undoubtedly just looking to make money off of people who can't afford better in a place like NYC.
