Added DiffLines:
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: As mentioned in the entry for MundaneUtility, Romilda chooses to use her abilities to try and seduce Harry Potter instead of using her knowledge of the future to try and help the greater Wizarding World, to say nothing of effectively grooming a teenage boy for a relationship. Romilda's odd combination of naïveté and SelectiveObliviousness lend her quest a certain innocence, but there is always the implication that her actions are definitely Not Okay.
Added DiffLines:
* SelectiveObliviousness: Romilda gets hilariously frustrated with her inability to seduce Harry, despite replaying events over and over with minor adjustments, never realizing that it's her ''attitude'' and failure to pick up the social cues of Harry and his friends that doom her attempts to failure. [[spoiler: She eventually has to go back to a point where Harry still trusted outsiders in order to gain any ground with him... but her efforts also cause a CosmicRetcon that erases her original timeline.]]
