While reviewing my story and notes about her, I realiyed that my main character doesn't have any major flaws. She is a hothead and she has to hide where she comes from, but that's it. She isn't god-like powerful, she just does alright in most things, because she had a lot of training, so more a **jack of all trades** character. She does fail, but she's never completely incompetent.

So now I ask myself if readers may find her **too boring**.  
If so, how can I improve her, without making the training seem like a waste of time?
