As many have mentioned, I got a fight between Xoti and Pallegina early. The moment after I walked out of the hallway after recruiting Pallegina, Xoti yells "I've HAD IT with you!" and my eyebrows nearly shot off my face.
Xoti is definitely less insane when you go down the romance route and have her give souls to the animancers, but she will always have some fixation with death as part of her religion.
