... Pel seems to dislike most people as a whole, regardless of their species, so much that being asked to lead any group of them, in a non-wartime situation, would have to be at least a little bit like a literal Hell for her.



Pel's cultural issues are at the heart of her behaviour. She's been raised in a society which allows no weakness, and she was sufficiently good at being a Pigeonwarrior that she got to be one of seven chosen to represent her race in the Transworlds Challenge.

Pel's cultural issues are at the heart of her behaviour. She's been raised in a society which allows no weakness, and she was sufficiently good at being a Pigeonwarrior that she got to be one of seven chosen to represent her race in the Transworlds Challenge.

The Transworlds Challenge events shattered her life. They made her effectively a widow, a blasphemer, a traitor, and an outcast. That some of these things are results of her society's inflexible standards only emphasises how much her culture has shaped her.

Even her actions after becoming a zhongha-ka have been driven by her culture, albeit now her rebellion against it.

That's why I wanted to rub Pel's nose in a big heap of Thonnagar and see how she'd handle it.
