Level 16 is VERY late to start leveraging different abilities or veils. What you get at that point needs to either fit the theme or enhance it, or it will be largely ignored. Now, specializing in Thrown can be done, but I do not think this is quite the way.
As well, the Love Paramour is still a full Cohort, which can get problematic. As currently written, it is distinct from a Leadership one, so you can have both.
