Weakness
Not My Type
Lainey's not afraid to tell it like it is. In fact, she inexplicably cannot help herself, as if compelled to do so. And that makes her acerbic and at least perceived as aloof and standoffish.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
She doesn't run in circles that would drag her to the edge of the pit, but neither does she avoid the dark side.
