A rigid sense of personal honor is something you're pretty much born with or don't have at all, in my experience. It's not something Molly would acquire over time.

What of the recent but substantive body of evidence validating the impact of behavioral change on lymbic vs. prefrontal cortex dominance, neuroadaption, and neurogenesis using diagnostic imaging (SPECT, PET, and FMRI) pre and post studies? I'm having a tough time reconciling your argument with research linking personality, habit, emotional reactivity, etc. to sustained behavioral change. And we can map those changes neurologically.
Essentially, the old floor of your past can be covered over by layers of new events, like sediment drifting to the bottom of the ocean. Neither genetic predisposition nor past choices determine who you are, rather you choose what your past will become by what you do each moment. I disagree that anyone is constrained by personal history toward being honorable or no. I don't think the issue of Mab's integrity is sullied by the fact she can't lie. After all, the Fae have gotten pretty crafty about misleading and manipulating without actually
lying.
And yes, Mab is one tough cookie, hot mama jama, ice cold bee otch queen. She would make me quiver, drool,
and poop my pants. All at the same time.
