I just wanted to share something for everyone's benefit. I told a friend of mine this and he was surprised to hear it, so I wanted to pass the knowledge on.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
Y'raja Lhiza:
Y'raja has issues with commitment. Of any kind. Do not expect her to keep every promise, listen to every rule, obey every law, stay anywhere for too long, or keep a single lover. This makes it difficult to get to know her on a deep level, let alone trust her. Speaking of trust, that's another thing she has issues with -- earning Y'raja's trust is a difficult endeavor.
She also bores quickly, abhors hard work, and dislikes taking sides. The last trait can double as a strength, but in scenarios where having a distinct stance is beneficial, her strong neutrality hurts more than it helps. When paired with the fact that she is easily swayed by petty things (money, sex, tasty food), it's possibly even dangerous.
Astrid Douglass:
Astrid picks up a lot of things others seem to find well-hidden, but she can be quite oblivious to things herself. If someone genuinely likes her, she will be the last to figure it out. When flirting, nine times out of ten, it's accidental. More importantly, Astrid is known for being too self-sacrificing. She will beat herself into the ground in order to please and/or protect others, entirely neglecting her own needs in the process. Then there are her issues with bloodlust...
Also, while Astrid is skilled in both magical and melee combat (with the former being her specialty), she is quite slow. Archery and pugilism are disciplines she will always fail at.
