Not that time. That time we were going for a chat with the Hell Hag, to get some information off her. The time we did a Vadrus quest was later, and accidental (oops, we seem to be on the HeroPlane - pick a myth that fits our requirements, quick!) and yes, we had a lead PC, and yes, he's had certain personality changes as a result.

Sounds good to me, and what I'd have used if no guidance was available.

Yes, I'm toying with the idea that the new arrival doesn't realise this is "meant" to be a fight, and goes for a seduction attempt instead. Remembering how Vingan doing Aroka in KoDP handles the Dark Woman, only in reverse.
So presumably Our Hero shrugs and goes for it! (If he's being Orlanth. Humakt would have other ideas.)

Fair enough - your personal opinion is usually pretty much considered and in line with the rules as written (no surprise!), so as an estimate that'll do me. I'd probably modify it by how well the person you're looking at is playing their role, anyway. And how recognisable they are in and of themselves. The GT text suggests that the more powerful they are, the easier they are to recognise, but things like "only one leg, and a beak" are always hints.
