Awwww, Nonnie! I am so glad – you have made me so so happy! Yeah, I find ‘perfect’ characters absolutely boring to read about (I have nothing in common with someone so utterly flawless, lol) and so I have inserted all sorts of little likes and dislikes and failings and flaws and foibles all over the shop… Hrera who hates knitting but perseveres BECAUSE SHE WILL DEFEAT IT, Gimli who is a rubbish blacksmith but a good miner, Thrain who is a very good metalsmith when it comes to anything BUT armour, Thorin who won’t add decoration to a damned thing (unless it’s for a Hobbit),  Gimris who is a good sewer but finds it dull as dishwater, a perfectionist Stonehelm who frets over leatherwork, Laerophen who finds everything warlike a bit distasteful but does his duty anyway (though he’d much rather be reading a book), Bomfris who HATES cooking (much to her brother’s despair), and so on… yeah, I am so happy you like that little detail! 

Thank you SO much for telling me, you’ve really brightened my day! 

I’m going to say that Fris is very detail-oriented, organized and precise when she’s making the strings for musical instruments, but hopeless when it comes to straightening or cleaning the living quarters she shares with Thrain. 

Perfect!
