If possible, I would've gone for the 8 ST 13 WL 5 SP AB, but anyway... :)

So, we're looking at about 22 skills in 14 fights?  With a 17 WT I'd say
that was a little low, but it's still above the 1.5 skills/learn ratio that
you more or less need to keep up in order to maintain your winning ways.

His approximate NEX Riposte = 5 is fairly high for a PR, but it's not death
in and of itself.  You don't really know what his other ratings are.  He may
be a god in hiding, and I'd bet that most of his other rating will come in
the 6-8 range, which is pretty good for a PR.

It depends.  Just because her favorite learn is (painfully) obviously riposte
doesn't mean that she sucks.  Her SP is fairly low, but that's not death.  Her
parry should be good, and I bet her attack is excellent too.  I'd keep her, and
run her until AD.  I don't know what arena she's in, but you'd be amazed at
how well a character like this can do when even you don't expect it!

>Or am I missing something?  Is she worth keeping?

17 WT/WL/DF and you want to off her?   That would be a crime in face of
nature! :)
