BFFIES. Kir sounds like someone who'd actually know that Sandy's got brains! They're just applied to things that are not political and cut throat all the time. (Can she brush Kir's hair sometimes, because OMG.)

More than likely. When she first came to the deck, she was a sad little girl with her mother dying and her father pretty much strapped to her mother's bedside and half terrified of the Deck.
