1. More stereotype-busting. Why can't low-IQ races have casters? Why do druids always have to be either elves or fake Celts? And so on.

2. Be broadly useful rather than a specialist. Hulda is physically solid enough to be a respectable combatant. She is good at outdoor tasks. She can create tigers out of thin air. She can zap individual foes with Frostbite and Lightning, and also do modest crowd control with Hail, Pollen Cloud, and Sandstorm. She has some supporting buffs. And she isn't bad at general mystical knowledge.

And with a few character points or $, she has lots of options for growth. She has decent levels with all the stats used as skill bases. She has the FP and Power Investiture to go a lot deeper into casting. And with her ST, the armor-and-swung-weapon route is always an option . . . it just demands a few points in other weapon skills, and some better gear.
