I was also wondering if anyone could ID the black and white chick beside her

I usually wash, towel dry damp, use either oil or bitter and brush through with a boar bristle brush (if you know of any good roller style ones, let me know), then blow dry low heat/cold while brushing through. Looking to get a haircut and trim but maintain density/length as much as possible. I do have a square chin. I have weak stache and upper cheek game, but stache will always get a trim once and a while.

People seemed to like the last one of these I did, so I decided to do a few more. These will be longer, since there are more details to look at than in the prologue.
I'm skipping over "The Black Chateau," since even though there are some interesting details in there (like Dimitri's preference for serpent and peacock iconography, or how the nightclub was apparently built with TARDIS technology) there isn't really too much of substance. I will say that on subsequent playthroughs, it seems more likely that Neyla didn't want to be seen helping the Cooper Gang by Dimitri to avoid having her cover blown. On the other hand, Episode 2 has some interesting environmental storytelling.
Cobra Iconography
So, we all know that Rajan's apparent "Ancestral Palace" was never actually in his family, because his backstory explicitly tells us that he was a hustler on the streets of Kolkata (Calcutta) as a boy. After making contacts in the criminal underworld and amassing his fortune, he bought this property and made his public appearance. The first thing that jumped out to me was the persistent cobra iconography. Aside from the tapestries in the guest rooms, it's in places that would have been troublesome or impractical for Rajan to remove them where guests would be less likely to notice them. For instance, the statue along the wall of the palace and the sculptures against the blocked-off mountain cave. At first, I wondered if this was indicative of the palace formerly belonging to some previously unseen snake-people, but now I'm not so sure.
The Turret
The presence of feral snakes aside, another feature of this palace that Rajan neglected to remove was the old turret; a turret that wouldn't be workable by people without arms. While it isn't impossible for the turret to be one of Rajan's installments, it was shown that the lever to unlock it was rusted shut and unused for some time, requiring significant effort even with Murray's incredible strength to force it open. I doubt Rajan has been living here long enough for a new installment to be rusted over so thoroughly, and it was described as a "pre-war" turret. Ultimately, my new headcanon is that this was the ancestral palace of a family of Cobras that employed other people (preferably ones with arms and legs) to operate their weapons.
Tiger Iconography and Neyla
On Rajan's additions to the palace, he seems to have mostly added elements that would prove his status to any would-be observers. For example, the drawbridge's columns are shaped like tiger's paws, and the outside frame of the palace doors is a relief sculpture of a tiger's jaws. On top of that, Rajan's likeness is shown in framed paintings and the statue in the palace square, both holding the drugs that earned Rajan his wealth. Unlike the cobra statue on the wall and the sculptures against the mountain, guests would be around these elements quite frequently. And of course, the golden statue of a tiger in the visage of a six -armed goddess (potentially Kali, representing Rajan's power, Lakshmi, representing Rajan's wealth, or perhaps Durga, who has an association with tigers). An interesting detail is that the statue bears a certain resemblance to Neyla who, as we know, was originally intended to be Rajan's daughter. Of particular note; the gems on the statue's and Neyla's headdresses are in very similar positions (at least in the artwork of the statue, the in-game model has it a bit higher on the headdress), and the stripes on the cheeks are very similar, not to mention the general face shape. Perhaps before the canon details changed, Neyla was whom the statue was based on. Or, it could have been a "gift" to her from her father while conveniently showing off Rajan's power and status.
The Vault Room
So, not something especially important, but it becomes a little bit more relevant in the next episode. Rajan during "A Starry Eyed Encounter" seems to treat his employees and guards pretty well. They seem to be treated with respect, and are given accommodations throughout the palace (the buildings outside of the main palace, excluding the elephant enclosure, are probably where the guards live). Evidence of this treatment can be seen in the vault room, where the Rhino Guards are patrolling, and we can see that they have access to a pool, televisions, and even a jukebox. These guys have it made, which makes Rajan's attitude shift in "The Predator Awakes" all the more apparent.
The Boardroom
The game doesn't really spell out exactly what this boardroom is used for, only that it's above Rajan's vault room. I think the implication for first-time players is that this is the room where Rajan meets with his Spice distributors, however we can infer that this is specifically meant to be a meeting room for the Klaww Gang members based on how there are five chairs around a large table with a globe hologram in the center. I imagine that most of the Klaww Gang members have similar rooms in their respective bases that we just don't see, in case they receive visits from the other members like Rajan does here. Off course, the Contessa may have some difficulty sitting in these chairs due to her spider-butt, but I digress. The interesting part that I only realized during this latest run, is that this could have been some stealth-foreshadowing that the Klaww Gang doesn't actually have only five members, but *six.* Of course, the meeting table has five chairs seated around it, but we also need to consider the massive throne in the background that Rajan would take every opportunity to sit in (a throne framed by the fire imagery that Rajan likes so much). On top of that, the viewing devices on either side of the table have six screens each: one for each Klaww Gang member to report on their progress in each respective location, and can be seen by anyone in the room.
Or it could all just be a coincidence.
It's honestly a lot of fun looking into these details with a more discerning eye. For as much as we all like these games, we tend to just play through them without giving much thought as to why the devs might have put a specific thing in a specific area. Over the last few years I've been taking time to go back through the games I love to appreciate the level design, even when it isn't explicitly pointed out to us, and I'm glad to say the Sly series hasn't disappointed. Next up: "The Predator Awakes."
