Major characteristics? Are Mata Hari's garments one of her major characteristics? They may be to you, but not to somebody else.

Besides, lots of historians base their whole careers on surprising the world with new, controversial takes on major (and minor) characteristics of famous historical figures. And their evidence is good enough not to be easily dismissed by the mainstream. You can question anything if you dig deeply enough.
