I like the "pet editor" idea!
One recent character I interacted with played a loyal retainer (basic charmie servant mob) as his char's brother. It seemed a challenge trying to handle two full roles at once.
I like giving my mage's elementals annoying properties, like a water elemental bubbling and gurgling at random and leaving puddles everywhere, or an earth elemental scuffing up the floor. However, an elemental's "alien" intelligence would be hard to represent well, so I don't try to give them much in the way of free will.
