I like to create characters who live and learn. Someone who listens and grows, I think, is essential to carry a plot line. Its hard to relate to a character who is so strong willed that they do not listen to anyone around them. You do not want to read about a character who frustrates you.
In my book, it was important for me to show Akhesenamun learning. She paved her own way, but she also observed and listened to everyone around her. A strong character is one who is also vulnerable and who harnesses their highest potential through their own strength but also through the help of others.
As I read, I want to discover things with the main character. Someone who needs to learn and grow is important for me. So I like to create good listeners to carry my stories.
