Hi Deb,

Thank you for the great additions!

Interesting take on virtues as faults.

Sometimes, virtues become a fault, meaning there is no flexibility in thinking. I find it's a way for a character to own their truth and look at its flipside. Do they see some of themselves in that flipside?

I would add integrity and accountability to this list.
