Thanks! The drawing pre-dates the stories; I took it as a kind of guide of what I wanted with Brynhild.
I totally agree about the Litmus Tests. Isolated Sue-isms can be justified in a story when they have a function in the plot; most of these things are only a problem when they appear gratuitous, and that's something the Litmus Test cannot check. But once you have made out for yourself what you are doing and why, taking the test can be very entertaining :-).
