What is Marigold's fundamental character?
Is it cold in here?:
Continuing the discussion from the weekly comic thread.
There must be a reason Angus likes her, unless he's just one of those people who are compassionate toward everyone.

Awesome! I'm glad this might be talked about a little more. Honestly, I feel like Marigold hasn't been given a chance to show much of her character yet. As of now, we've seen her game, putter about, stammer, read, cry, nosebleed, and be forward with Angus(not necessarily in that order). I can't figure out if she's so introverted that she hasn't had a chance to show that she can actually be a friend...or if she's just not very thoughtful in the first place. It's not like she doesn't get out of the apartment (the mini-con) and it's not like she's not brave enough to interact with others. Ahh, now I'm just rambling.
My last thought on the matter is: let's see more of her before we brand her anything for certain.

Why do people adopt poodles? They're angry little shits that'll tear up pretty much anything put in front of them, yet they're still a pretty popular breed.
I think Angus just feels sorry for Marigold and the crap she went through in high school. I think he thinks of himself as a modern-day, chivalrous knight.
Lost Coastlines:
She's been the victim in her own mind for so long that she probably doesn't question whether or not she's a good person or how a good person would act in a given situation. She knows what she wants and has made passive-aggressive and, when drunk, aggressive attempts at getting those things, but we have yet to see a situation in which she is curious about the feelings of others.
Marigold really bothered me in this one: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1560
Love Faye, hate her, or barely know her, that's a pretty terrible thing to happen to someone. I'd think most people would react with some shock before trying to console Angus, but she jumps straight to kissing his ass without batting an eye. That kind of behavior doesn't come from a lack of social interaction. It's just creepy.
She's had a healthier social life handed to her out of pity and aside from a couple of outbursts from Hannelore and Angus, no one is telling her that trying to elicit more attention from sympathy is manipulative. So in that respect, it's not her fault. On the other hand, she's not a child and many of her faults are inexcusable even given her isolated past.

You mean miniature poodles, right?
