There is much to learn about business. Whether dealing with high-class society or the roughest of ruffians, etiquette is very important, as learning how to interact with others increases your chances for success at a business opportunity. Lead your would-be consumers with the right suggestions and recommendations to convince them that your products are right for them. By using the right etiquette with the right people, you can create a reputation and prove your business is trustworthy. After all, people will not do business with you if there is no trust. Finally, all businesses start on an idea. You must know what the public is willing to spend their money on, and you must be ahead of the competition if you wish to succeed. Because at the end of the day, you need to make a profit, and no business can sustain itself without generating profit. 

Koine herself possesses a myriad of facades to work with, and will choose whoever is best suited to converse with others. She also possesses the ability to detect the potential profitability and reputability of those in her presence. Finally, she can also influence others to be more inclined to accept business proposals, though she can only influence what is already there. If people aren't interested even after trying to convince them, then there is nothing she can do.

Another quiet day in the shop. For some people, that might be a blessing, but for me, it's a curse. Business has been slow lately, and I don't know why. I've tried adding new paintings and hiring an extra person to attract more people, but no one seems interested. I'll be hitting the red soon, and I'd rather keep my shop open. But how?

A small jingle sounded from the bell as the door opened. Turning my head towards the door, I saw a beautiful woman come in, walking gracefully toward the pub table and taking a seat. "Welcome, ma'am, what would you like to order?" 

"[color=gold]I'll have the tuna and a small amount of ale, please.[/color]" "Coming right up!" I was glad to finally have a customer again, and hopefully she wouldn't be the last. As I prepared the ingredients, she looked around the restaurant. Probably thinking it was a sad place, and with no other customers, I was willing to agree. I quickly whipped up her meal and served it to her. "Your tuna and ale, ma'am." She only took small bites, and sipped the ale sparingly as she quietly ate. I had just turned away to clean up my work station when she said, "[color=gold]This is a nice place.[/color]"

"Hmm?" "[color=gold]A good location, with plenty of foot traffic. And the decor is pleasing to the eye. It's not bad.[/color]" "Um, th-thank you-" "[color=gold]I didn't say it was good, though. Only adequate, and now I see why there's no one else here.[/color]" "Hey, where do you get off-"

"[color=gold]Thank you for the meal,[/color]" she said, placing a few coins on the table before standing up. I looked at her now empty dish and cup, wondering how she finished so quickly. As she let, she said, "[color=gold]Invest in some shellfish for appetizers, and some eels. They're coming into season soon. Lager would be great too. Pairs well with your seafood menu.[/color]" "Hey, wait! Who are you?" She simply smiled and said, "[color=gold]Pleasure doing business with you,[/color]" before leaving out the entrance. 

She was a strange woman, but maybe she had something. I followed her advice, perfecting the dishes I could create. For some reason, after she left, I've been receiving a flood of customers ever since. They also loved the changes to the menu, and wouldn't stop praising it every time. I guess I owed her a debt, having saved my shop with just a few words. A glint of light reflecting off a coin caught my eye, and I reached over to pick it up. Come to think of it, the woman's face did resemble the one on the coin... nah, couldn't be. Could it?

[hider=Base Form]
Her hair is platinum blonde and her skin is peachy. Her eyes are sapphire-colored with yellow irises, and she has pearly-white teeth for a perfect smile. Her left hand is adorned with 5 silver rings, each fitted with a different gem: sapphire, ruby, emerald, amethyst, and padparadscha, from thumb to pinky in that order. Her thin, rectangle-shaped glasses have a dark silver frame and fitted with quartz glass lenses.

Koine still remains humanoid, but her exact appearance varies based on one's intentions and business practices. 
[hider=Pure]
Koine appears similar to her base, except her body appears to be made out of gold and various gems. Her eyes are tiny star sapphires, while her long, wavy hair is made of strands of white gold. Even her lips are composed of rose gold, and her teeth have become actual pearls. Her nails, cut to perfection, are pure diamond.

[hider=Impure]
To people that harbor malicious intentions or perform unethical business practices, Koine's body will also take on a dark-reddish tone. Her clothing will be tattered, and her body will also appear to be splattered with blood, or depending on the specific race, their equivalent of it.
