😇- What’s their best trait?

for catalina saying that she likes nemo because he "acts nice" or "he's genuine" would be disingenuous; from her perspective its easy and unchallenging to be perfectly "nice" and she's seen the more selfish and disgusting side of very earnest actions pretty consistently (she also tends to look down her nose at people she considers gullible). so for her she likes that nemo is attentive, especially toward her, in a way that does not make her want to claw her skin off or gouge his eyes out, and thus she finds their interactions surprisingly and pleasantly mundane.

nemo was born with a stutter that he maintains thanks to many years of speech therapy only really emerges when hes very nervous; the trouble is that nemo is always quite nervous, especially when he's forced to be around or talk to other people. most people are not particularly patient with his inability to get through a sentence without restarting it partway through, so he really enjoys catalina's patience in that regard, and is amazed by how easily it seems to come to her. he likes that from his end it feels like she's really listening to him and not counting down the seconds until it's her "turn" to speak.

👿- What’s their worst trait?

while vega is correct that rakesh does work himself up over things that are really inconsequential and even nonsensical pretty often (all while being nonchalant about things that should definitely raise his hackles more), her perspective of this flaw is somewhat skewed because he tends to fuss over her especially, sometimes for legitimate reasons, but just as often because he's sticking his nose into her business.

likewise rakesh is also right that vega is also avoidant of admitting when she's wrong about something to the point of it becoming dangerous and insane, but his perspective of her stubbornness is also greatly exaggerated because he actually started out in T.A.R.G.I.T. as her "lab assistant", and is kind of unfairly letting his memories of when she was first working there and also 17 color his judgement of it a little.

Tamyra loved it when people stared, there was no denying that. Why would she not appreciate it? It just showed that she was beautiful and people could not take their eyes off of her. Granted, she sometimes wondered if it was because of the scar across her face but she always just pushed the thought aside and kept her head up.

But this felt different. This man, as handsome as he might be, was being... strange and weird about it, no better word to describe it.

And yes, Tamyra loved it when people were watching her, but this was different and really, it’s been going on too long. (It’s only been a few days, really, he seemed new, it could have just easily been that he didn’t believe his eyes yet, but Tamyra was no considering that or taking in the fact that it really hasn’t been that long at all.) So when she noticed the guy around, looking in her direction once again, she made a decision to stride towards him. “Hello there, is there anything I can help you with?”
