What is Marigold's fundamental character?
Mr_Rose:
No-one cares that you don't like Faye.
People get annoyed when your obsession with not liking Faye just as loud as you can gets in the way of, well, everything else you do around here.
First it's dull and repetitive and second it doubtless triggers some sort of "worry" response in those of us whose empathy works through the tubes.
Also, I would not be surprised if Mr. Jacques got pissed at you for telling everyone you know how his character was meant to be interpreted as if you're the Divine Oracle of Jephi...just a hunch though.
Is it cold in here?:

There is, if memory serves, a separate thread for Faye's fundamental character. There's a reason for that.
There is, to the best of my knowledge, no thread for discussing other forum members. There's a reason for that.

That's a well-taken point about Marigold's courage, and I think it's a new point that hasn't come up before. There are probably more people willing to charge machine guns than there are people willing to change themselves. It's not unique to Marigold -- Hannelore has an anxiety disorder to fight, for example -- but it's still praiseworthy.

If you don't care, you're welcome to skip right over my comments.
I never intended to piss off Mr. Jacques, which is why I'm trying to work on it. It's really really hard though.

Another interesting point you've made about Marigold is that she treats others decently. I can think of only one case where she said something harsh, and that was definitely provoked. If, as I would, you consider "others" to include AnthroPCs, she was showing concern for their welfare from near her first appearance.

And that's what makes the Hanners-Marigold friendship an interesting part of the strip for me: On a basic level, both young women are in a "place" where dealing with everyday life takes conscious courage. Hanners is farther along the curve than is Marigold, and recognizes she helps herself by having someone else to help. It's fun to watch (in a good way, you perverts). And now Momo is taking on some of the Hanners role, giving Mari two friends and allies.
