Perfect characters? I guess you haven't read The Lions of Al-Rassan. Made me want to vomit. I agree with Qhorin; nearly all the characters in ASOIAF exhibit significant flaws and experience inner struggles. Most - at some point - lack confidence in their actions. Just because they emerge triumphant from conflicts doesn't make them perfect. In fact, many don't (Eddard, Robb, Oberyn). To get where they are, "perfect" characters like Jon and Danaerys have endured much and surmounted personal obstacles.
