Era, my Imperial rogue, is hesitant to tap into her newfound abilities - odd, considering she's an opportunist in every other respect. She prefers to keep a low profile and avoids drawing attention to her actions, so having the spotlight shined on her so abruptly is unsettling. She'd just about made up her mind to shrug off the mantle of 'hero' and go back to picking pockets when the Greybeards reluctantly allowed her to speak to Paarthurnax. Meeting and conversing with such an ancient, dignified being swayed her, made her realize the true gravity of the situation, and so now she's renewed her struggle to step up to the plate. She copes with the immense responsibility and the hypocrisy of looting the bodies of innocents one minute and saving the world the next by segmenting herself into the polar personalities of 'Era' and 'Dragonborn'. Not exactly the best move as far as mental health goes, but it gets the job done.
Nyn Aldehar, my Bosmer huntsman, delivered the news of the dragon attack to the Jarl of Whiterun but bolted the second greater involvement was asked of him, so he hasn't the faintest clue that he's the Dragonborn. And as for Anja Engelhaus, my Nord, she arrived fresh off the boat in Dawnstar Nordrick-style and has only heard whispered rumours of dragons from guards and other NPCs. So no Dragonborn anxiety there, either.
