Well, though (as I said on the LJ version of this), if she's really determined to honor her dead, insisting on doing it all herself when she keeps messing up this way is not exactly constructive ... .
I find myself comparing her to P.C. Hodgell's protagonist in the Chronicles of the Kencyrath. Jame gets into difficulties for similar reasons, but her disasters tend to be both more entertaining and more world-shaking. Toby has a few moments of self-deprecating snark, but nothing compared with Jame's normal mode of existence.
