Well I feel that having each of them be the only one in their village that isn't somehow the exact opposite of the element that this one being represents is a little bit... Off. Maybe it would work once, but having "the only truth teller in a tribe of liars" and then "the only one to overcome/not behave like that" makes it seem predestined. Or the whole fact of them having to overcome the opposite of their element, if that makes any sense.

The thought behind that is that the spirits of dishonesty, greed, etc. etc. are there to try and hinder the growth of the element, but are inadvertently responsible for the realisation of such. However, what you said does get to me a little. Maybe I could have it such that not all of the members of the group would be all-out cruel, or depressed. Some are closer to the right trait than others. What do you think?
