Most of the awnsheghlien I got attached to are tragedies, first and foremost.

The Spider and Rhuobhe basically became corrupted while fighting against those weird otter-eared people from across the sea who understood sharing the forests of Anuire as "gimme"

The Banshegh is an accident of birth and strictly speaking is barely even aware of what she is, or at least deeply in denial. She exemplifies the cursedness of it a lot deeper than most.

It's an interesting contrast to the top shelf human awnsheghlien being people who had everything and still needed to grasp more.
