#I'd like to think the bitching sessions started around PoF

Reveal Link's secrets!! Or Floppy's even. Give us secretss
I've already shared some Link secrets so here's some Floppy ones!
1. is an open secret
I’d say the fact she’s trans is a pretty open secret, like she doesn’t go yelling it from the rooftops but also doesn’t care about mentioning it. There was totally a moment where someone in Dragon’s Watch came out to her and she just went ‘oh I was like that too.’ 
2. is a secret the people close to your character know
That she once had a daughter, at first no one knew since she never mentioned it (maybe Zojia because she heard about a smart progeny who died early or something) but after Aerri came out of the Mists with Eir and Snaff she had to explain.  She didn’t really hate having too, it had been about a decade since she died at this point so she’s had time to deal with it, and it felt nice letting the members of her guild know something more about her. (She just hopes Braham and Taimi don’t start feeling bad about jokingly calling her mom) 
3. is a secret that your character wouldn't really care about getting out
Her country/non-rata sum origins. I could definitely see some shitty Arcane council member trying to undermine her during something and digging up the ‘dirt’ that she wasn’t from Rata Sum and didn’t even study in schools until college. Of course she doesn’t really care and it doesn’t do too much against her. It does start a very funny conversation around Dragon’s Watch about all the weird things that can now be explained about her. ‘Is this why you said you had a pet bog drake as a kid? I thought you were joking!’ 
4. is a secret exactly one person knows anything about
Rytlock knows so many things about the shitty ex she had Aerri with from their bitching sessions. I mean come on, Rytlock normally is not the type to share things about himself, let alone if you aren’t sharing anything of your own.
5. is a secret no one knows about but they sort of want to come out/to tell someone
How much she is starting to feel some of the effects of aging/commandering for 10+ years. She’s still pretty physically fit and capable, but she’s been noticing how her reflexes have become a bit more slow, and her scars have been twinging more, she even switched to using a staff as her main weapon since using a sword started to become a bit taxing. Her fear is that she won’t meet the expectations made of her and it will result in someone else getting hurt. 
6. is a secret no one knows and they desperately don't want anyone to know about.
Just how horribly bad her mental state was after Aerri died till she essentially died herself. She was just not doing good depression wise, she wasn’t like actively suicidal but definitely neutral about living. A lot of her earlier days as commander were gone about with the attitude of ‘better stay alive since it seems like I am needed to help, but if I do die everyone will probably be just fine without me.’ It wasn’t until like PoF-lws4 that she began to realize how much Dragon’s Watch actually cared about her, and that it wasn’t just because she was useful.
