Permissive/Reserved
The Wrothelli are a sex-positive culture. They encourage and delight in procreation. Even within monogamous marriages casual affairs are considered trivial as long as they don't develop to the detriment of the spouse or group.
Reserved means that a character does not take particular pleasure in sexual activity. The Wrothelli do not condemn chastity or in special cases even virginity. Extremely reserved characters are called shy.

Proud/Modest
To be proud means that a character has a sense of self-worth. Extremely proud characters cannot take insult without injury and take great pleasure in their accomplishments. Proud characters are determined and refuse to accept failure or humiliation. Modest means that your character is humble and inordinately concerned with impressing others, or with their opnions. Extremely modest characters are quiet, meek or even self-critical. They do not seek recognition and are thick-skinned when it comes to insults.

Suspicious/Trusting
Suspicious means that a person reacts to strangers and exotic ideas with skepticism. They are unlikely to believe what they hear unless proof is offered that an enthusiastic approach is more appropriate than cautious curiosity. An extremely suspicious character is called xenphobic, skeptical or a doubter.
To be trusting is to believe information withoutany inclination to suspect its falsity. An excessively trusting person is gullible and credulous, perhaps even a dupe.

Taciturn/Garrulous
Taciturn means that a person is terse, close-mouthed, valuing effective action over talk. Taciturn characters are stoical but bottle up their frustrations. Their idea of wit is a short, snappy come-back; especially if it silences a long winded person. An extremely taciturn person is a master of understatement. They are called dour, evasive, secretive, inscrutable or even silent.
Garrulousindicates that a character likes to talk, an attribute usually associated with women.Talkative people share their problems and hopes. They enjoy talkingwith their friends and acquaintances as a form of relaxation. Excessively talkative people are called frivilous, boastful, loud-mouths and gossips.
