juggling and memory in world-building

[marycatelli]

Was pondering what personality-based powers to give two rather nasty characters -- 

When I remembered that only very strong-willed characters (and those born with their powers) exactly fit their powers.  Wizards can impress a different set of powers, if not too incongruous.

Fortunately these two are merely extremely spiteful and potential bad influences.  Plus potential sources of misinformation.  Not that the hero and heroine are any slouches in their own misunderstandings -- culture clashes are involved.
