- I'll use "talk" pages whenever I think a fix is non-trivial enough.

Durchsetzungsvermögen
- Assertiveness is a communication skill. Something you teach to trainees and students so that they don't suck so bad.
- Perseverance and determination are already closer. As seen HERE:
- Murray calls it the German quality of Durchsetzungsvermögen, the determination to persevere like a badger and win the hundreds of one-on-one battles that occur in a game.
- I decided against the (redundant) "determination to persevere" (like a badger ^^). "Perseverance" is OK.

Acknowledged! Guido
Small
- As opposed to "little", "small" carries nothing but the notion of size.
- No reference to young age, and as good as no affective connotation (AFAIK).
- "Little girl" is almost an idiom... What's wrong with it, Guido? ^^

Words I'm not sure are proper (or at least words I'd never have used in directions myself)
- sulky
- impish
Whatever
