The amazing thing is, all of her flaws are like this. And I do mean her actual, writer-accounted-for flaws, not stuff people have observed that are completely invisible as far as the writing is concerned. It's all just easy cop-outs that all avoid tarnishing the writer(s) creation in any way.There's also the factor that "low self-confidence" is often used in bad writing as a cop-out flaw "since there has to be one", one of those Mary Sue classics, and overcoming it as a main thing feels intrinsically unearned. It's the game/story/medium telling us "she's actually already awesome, she just has to realise how awesome she is". That's nothing, and doesn't feel like real development.

*Ahem*
So I have this character, and like, she's amazing. But she totally doesn't realize it, in fact she lacks confidence. Also she's like, totally too trusting? She's just that kind and respectful, even if it comes off a bit naive y'know? She also gets sick in any form of travel vehicle which is suuuuper inconvenient for her. Oh oh and she's a bit of a klutz, like not dramatically because it would disturb serious moments but sometimes she gets teased about it. Oh and before I forget, she's totally way too energetic, sometimes people will get annoyed at that but I think it's totally cute and it's coming from her living life at 120% so I lowkey vibe with it, to be honest ... Oh wait, I did forget something. She's kinda young and maybe a bit sheltered so she's goin' to be just a lil' bit inexperienced with stuff so bear with her please.
None of these are flaws. None of them. Forget not being punished or limited by them, all of these only exist to endear the character to the viewer. Even if the plot did bring attention to them they would still be weak flaws.
Also, it seriously boggles me how unearned the relationship between Wuk Lamat and Sphene is.
Why should Wuk Lamat burst throught the fight in Queen Eternal and be like, oh Sphene, lemme talk to your heart pls, we're besties and I can save you, when they've known each other for like, three hours tops. And no, I can't accept that it's because they "desperately wanted peace but one couldn't achieve it whilst the other can" or something like that, it's not enough. It's not earned.
I cringed like hell when Zenos came throught the barrier with Endsinger, but at least it was sortof earned since the guy wouldn't leave us alone and absolutely wanted to be the one to kill us.
Here there's nothing. As someone else mentioned (apologies, can't remember the name) it's like they tried to do a Gaia/Ryne situation, but failed.
I have a secret to tell. From my electrical well. It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells. So the room must listen to me Filibuster vigilantly. My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e. My story's infinite Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest- TMBG Birdhouse in your Soul
