This Hearthstone weaves beauty and grace around its owner. In addition to adding 3 dice to all Presence and Performance pools, with a successful Wits + Socialize check (difficulty 3), the bearer may respond to social attacks meant to embarrass, ridicule, or humiliate her by immediately making a (Speed 0) social attack against the same audience, using Manipulation + [appropriate Ability of Presence or Performance], to have the insult come off as embarrassing to the attacker as to the victim (though note that this does not provide any DEFENSE against embarrassment for the bearer).
