One thing that will cause a character to lose their composure?

I’ve just done a session zero of Stonetop, and my character Eadgyð (Edith or ED-Yith) is a fox - a criminal with a conscience. Brought up in a nearby town by gangs and unlawful filth after she lost her parents at the age of five. Betrayed by her best friend, left for dead in the fens. She survived. She is tough and resilient; she made her way to the rural town of Stonetop. Trying to make a new home, forget old ways, but what could ruffle that composure?

For now, I’m considering her poised on the knife-edge of settling down versus the chaos that can destroy all of that, her past both her own personality and the people she hopes she escaped from.

I’m sure there will come a time in the game that she’ll need to open up and ask for help, throw herself on the mercy of others, but for now she’s wound tight as a spring, not letting anyone in or anything out.

Looking forward to playing to find out when and where and how her composure will shatter.
