I think most any lady but Clara can easily end up bottom of the pecking order depending on player choices. One Kassarin curried the Queen's favor, the other provoked her at every turn. Most of the players have that option, some blatantly, others by being too sincere and not spiteful enough. Then the remainder rise or fall in relation to the provocateurs. Gedra was in surprisingly (to me) good favor in the second game--I thought it was hard for her to be in the queen's good graces. But everyone else was being so outrageous in the second game that she rose toward the top! I agree it's hard for Jade to do the same, or at least to both rise to the top and have any chance of finding out what she needs to about the Lords.
