Hehe, yeah, I just recently heard that about Colette too. I chose her mainly because she looks like she'd be fun to paint (typically how I make my gaming decisions, for better or worse) and since she was on the shelf at DL ... Hmmm, maybe I'll have to stick with Som'er at first until C's rules come out.
I'm fine with leagues, especially if they're relatively slow-grow. Won't begrudge anyone for moving faster though if that's the general consensus. Should be fun regardless.
