Character Concept: This NPC incorporates puns of the eight notes in the standard Western musical scale: do (ambitious/desires money) re (sun-loving) mi (selfish) fa (well-traveled) so (sewing ability) la (name) ti (drinks tea) do (greedy/desires money a bit too much).
An unscrupulous troupe wants to force La to join them. What better distraction for the audience while the other "performers" do their pickpocketing?
