Jet'a Vann / Clive Stark / Kujh'a Lihzeh
Three of my characters have a very poor view of Seekers of the Sun women. The Seeker's society structure (all females mating with the same male in the tribe), puts to the eyes of my characters male Seekers of the Sun as men with no personal attachment for a partner, and female Seekers as something close to whores.
That, combined with the fact that all of them were hit on / or saw others get hit on by females of the Seeker clan, has resulted in my characters beginning to use "Son of a Seeker" as an insult.
Dylise Rontremont
Instead, Dylise, as a Duskwight woman, has the stereotypical grudge against the Green. While there are NPCs who still express discrimination towards the Grey (some in front of the Lancer's guild comes to mind), I was rather sad to see no one of the Elezen RPers I've interacted with seems to keep this bit of the lore into account. Don't be so nice to Dylise, you Wildwoods!
Kujh'a Lihzeh
Kujh has an angst/terror for females of the Keeper clan that is borderline psychotic. Grown in a society that taught him of how females are superior to him, and having broke the boundaries with that society and become a fighter himself (his Keeper family is very strict and did not allow males to be raised as combatants), he has set his own goal to prove that he can be a better hunter than any Keeper woman out there. He refuses to admit to be unable to do anything a female Keeper could do (including birthgiving!?), and in trying to prove so he has already gotten a lot into trouble, as Kiht Jakkya well knows.
At the same time, while he feels competitive with these women, he is also terrified of them, feeling they are psychopaths that will cut his throat at any given time for daring step on their society role's holy ground.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
