Slightly off topic but I think poor Taki'a is completely confused and slightly disturbed by Seeker girls. Seeker culture is a demented inversion of Keeper culture (his perspective) and he finds it baffling. Most of the non-Keeper cultures are like that, so he has regular culture shock I suppose
Jet'a Vann here is also a Keeper born and raised in the Shroud (at least till he was taken away from there by force). He is EXTREMELY conservative and traditional, very proud of his heritage (the Miqo'te naming conventions state that some Keeper surnames have been lasting since the First Astral Era, and I RP the Vann surname to be one of them), and regards Seekers and their society with major distrust and annoyance too. One sure way to get on his bad side is to call him or compare him to a Seeker...!
Just the other day, Blade made the mistake of mixing up his Miqo'te colture and asked Jet'a if he was planningo to turn his own sister in a sort of she-Nuhn for the reforming of their family. That was quickly answered with a blizzard spell in the Midlander's crotch >_>
But yes, Shroud Keeper pride! *raises fist!*
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.
