folks have covered Eragon, Roran, & Murtgath extensively, so I'll just do some others, mostly Arya.
Arya: she's like 70, so what if she did a lot of her canon bs when younger? So the dwarves hate her for insulting them in the past, & Varden is a little uncomfortable around her bc of the murder. Also the elves don't care abt diplomatic relations bc they make everything they need, so just send anyone.
So Arya eventually figured out she was being terrible (pre-story), so now she is attempting to repair relations, & be better. She is still a vegetarian, but super practical. If nobody is using animal stuff, might as well. Also never aging means 1 outfit can last a while (hence weird leather outfit). And so she finds most groups horribly wasteful, esp. the elves. Also helps ppl, mostly humans, in her spare time. Still sucks at tact.
Angela: cannot cast spells quickly, but can do before-fight stuff. Hates Galby for backstory reasons. True neutral but wants Galby dead. Hides her plans behind a facecade, but does have a reason to do things... Instead of whatever that was.
Nasuda: Not the leader. Is still grieving. Angry w Eragon for cursing Elva. Advocates for the common fellow in the Varden. So maybe it's her idea to seek out alliances w others (like the Urgals). Not a lot of ideas with her.
