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? ^^

Misc

Not quite proper

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

• sulky
• impish

Whatever

• furrow (for brows) looks intransitive to me
• resignation: not sure at all about that one
• "leader circuit": wherever you got that one from?
