Players can either try to make her feel better, or encourage her to be more assertive, depending on whether they wish to see Dawn Star follow the Way of the Open Palm or the Way of the Closed Fist - the latter requires persuasion to make it work, with failure ending the romance. On arrival, players can talk to Dawn Star about how the loss of her home has left her feeling overwhelmed and out of place. In Chapter Three, the romance can be continued in three further conversations around the Imperial City. The order of the conversations will depend on which areas the player visits first. The three conversations of importance correspond to the three sub-areas which can be accessed from Tien's Landing - Gao the Greater's pirate lair, the ruins of Old Tien's Landing, and the Great Southern Forest. After completing various major events of the chapter, Dawn Star will want to talk to the player about her experiences - if players ask how she is and listen to what she says, the romance plot can continue, whereas if they tell her that they are not interested, the romance plot will stop. In Chapter Two, however, the conversations become more important. Dawn Star is the first of the romance options to be encountered in the game, although interactions with her in Chapter One are not critical to the romance plot.
