My sci fi heroine is a popular singer. The hit that propelled her to stardom was “Cotton Candy Lovin’. (We recorded it.) Her unexpected personality trait is befriending aliens. She’s named after Berthe Morisot, the French impressionist painter, who comes to her in dreams.
In my WIP the protagonist is a sneaky fortune hunter named Lucky Buck always trying to strike it rich. His unexpected personality trait is having two wives when marooned on an alien world.

I love the way you suggest linking the talent to personality and backstory.
