I was amazed to see some of these thoughts/principles at work immediately–especially #5 when I was surprised by my protagonist’s sudden outburst of temper, resulting in her violence against her enemy. This weakness (lack of temper control) had not surfaced yet, and of course her outburst and physical violence resulted in consequences for her later on–not to mention her remorse and internal struggle to control her hatred and desire for physical revenge against her enemy.

I say I was surprised because I had not ‘created’ her to be quick-tempered–it was not in my profile on her. But she snapped in this scene–(and so would have I–I think!) leaving fallout for herself and others, including her nemesis. It will be interesting to see when and where this ‘flaw’ crops up again.
