Drada was not a very liked child around the orphanage. She tended to be a bully who used her size and strength to her advantage to get what she wanted. She did eventually grow out of this, but her negative reputation didn't heal overnight nor did it heal... much at all really. She does do bodyguarding work though, using her bulk to shield clients... unless those clients deserve to get what's coming to them. Which makes hiring her... tricky. And most people don't hire tricky bodyguards, which makes her rather poor. Bouncer work tends to be more regular since general businesses don't tend to have personalities attached.
