Today's challenge is to discuss something that your main character sees as a weakness but is actually a strength.
The difficulty in pinning that down is because I really don't have what could be called the main character. In The Shrine War, the two main characters are Sen, the kitsune leader of an Inari Shrine, and Christopher, my human protagonist who acts as a type of narrator to ground the story from being completely alien.
In the second segment, The Inugami, my two main characters are Kelly Robbins who again acts as a human lens so my reader doesn't get lost in a story that deals with magic and mythical creatures, and Shadō, the Inugami that lives in the crawlspace under Kelly's apartment.
For today's challenge, I would have to say that Shadō sees Kelly's refusal to use her as an instrument of malice and destruction as a weakness, but even at the end of the story, still struggles with Kelly's adherence to virtues such as mercy and kindness (though she comes around in the final segment, Incident at a Japanese Inn.
