Skill: Etiquette and the rules of polite society

But what does that even do:
The title is almost self-explanatory. At some point before she visits Tanburn she learns courtly manners so that she doesn't embarrass herself while visiting. She learned over a few weeks nonstop, so while she might not be perfect at them she at least knows them and sort of turned them into a habit. Notably (or maybe because of the translations, I don't know) she starts to refer to Zen as Prince Zen after she learns these.
Although it doesn't often come up, her body language will shift. Normally she has somewhat awkward body language and tends to flail around, or hugs her arms close to her body. In public she will have more proper posture (for the most part; she will still...flail around when embarrassed, which is a lot).
ALSO OF NOTE is that after learning these manners she holds her temper very well! In previous chapters she is quicker to yell or get angry. That isn't to say she doesn't get angry after this, because she still yells at Raji. But she will be more likely to try and control her temper.

So that means what:
She knows how to be polite and use nice fancy rules and might be more polite as a result?? At the very least she will make more of a note to refer to titles when in public.
More likely to sit or stand straight and proper, less likely to flop all over everything.
Will bite her tongue more and try to think things through before yelling '-'
