FWIW, for Twilight, I think it is her academic background. She treats everything like a hypothetical exercise and will spend time, say, delivering an impromptu lecture on the Magic of Friendship rather than restraining the obviously mentally-unhinged Equalist leader who is waving what is allegedly a powerful magical artefact in her face. She just spends too much time talking and not enough time taking action.
