Action Girl: Sal is the first unlocked grifter and can fight as well as the other two.This is not to say that her cards are devoid of synergy between each other, and she can end up doing a lot of damage. In negotiations, Sal has no specific mechanics, focusing instead on Status Infliction Attacks on her opponents arguments and building up “Dominance” or “Influence” to increase the damage of her cards. Alternatively, she can also focus on “Bleed”, dealing heavy damage over time to her enemies. She has access to a lot of cards to help “Improvise” what she needs in fights as well as the ability to accumulate “Combo” which can be used to improve the effects of some other cards. In combat, Sal fights with both her daggers and serves as an introduction to “Griftlands”’ mechanics.
Sal is noted to have earned her freedom in 10 years, a record time among the Cult, but she won't be able to move on until she gets revenge on Kashio. When her former big sister figure Kashio betrayed them by outing them as agents of the guerilla organization Rise, she also sold Sal into slavery to the Cult of Hesh, changing her name to Ik-Derrick and throwing her into dangerous child labor. Sal Ik-Derrick used to be the daughter of two infamous "Union Leaders".

Dueling Player Characters: Sal can be met by both Rook and Smith in their respective campaigns, and Rook can be met by Sal in hers.Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Both Rook and Smith’s campaign involve dealing with some sort of Eldritch Abomination and ultimately defeating a manifestation of their will.Deadpan Snarker: Even outside of some negotiation cards, all three Grifters are not above making snide comments on the dangerous and sometimes ridiculous situations and individuals they find themselves dealing with.The Charmer: All three grifters can talk their way out of a large number of situations and have access to diplomacy cards that allow for pleasant negotiations.Casual Danger Dialogue: Some cards depicting dangerous scenes for the Grifters are often associated with humorous Flavor Text that reminds this.
