She was (almost) always going for the big risk, big reward play. She'd save up a little cash then invest it in her friends' crazy schemes, she'd always go for all the hearts in games of Hearts, she always tested her luck.

But in my job, I buckled down and studied the sciences until eventually they picked me to help colonize the moon.
And thus bring her along, proving I was not technically a safe bet.
