Vera and Skender are alike. Not just madness/insanity (minor...), but their limited views on certain things...ish. Vera's limited views on magic are due to how she had been raised/trained, while Skender's love of humans is (likely) a passing phase. Next century, he could be partial to ___ race members instead. He always does the same thing with different races, and in different appearances...

All this being said, I don't think they should be in a group together.
No offence, just...
