What is Marigold's fundamental character?

Someone with a social protocol database isn't going to say "Meh. Later." by accident if she's doing someone a favor.
Magical Love Gentlemen may have been an import. Marigold is known to buy top of the line imported Japanese goods (Momo is a high end model!). Even if she doesn't know enough Japanese to follow anime, she has an AnthroPC who can translate.

It started out as a favor which later turned into an enjoyable activity for Momo. This is moot, as Momo's selfish action does not justify Marigold's aggressive behavior (note that she was drunk at this time, as she was when she jumped Angus - more aggressive behavior).
The cost of the anime is another moot point. As TAG noted, Marigold isn't too careful with her anime, or many of her other possessions. This and the fact she left her wallet at COD make me wonder if money is not an issue to her. This may be because she works for her father. We don't really know how much she is paid or how much work she really does, but she did get defensive about it. It would not be a huge leap of logic to assume she is compensated above and beyond what she would get from another employer for the same work. Good for her, but it does mean that anything that can be easily replaced is of less value to her (thus excluding Momo and her computer).
Like I said before, I think Marigold has seen herself as a victim for so long that she does not consider whether or not she is a good person. That requires a level of self-reflection of which she is either not capable or in which she subconsciously chooses not to engage. Even with Angus's rejection, she's been socially lucky since her introduction to the strip. She has not seen that being good to other people means that they'll be good to you since they're all going out of their way to be nice to her.

She is highly protective of them. The third thing she ever said in the strip was, to the people entering her room, "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING". Her first ever dialog balloon ended with "And what are you doing with Momo-tan?"

All I notice in the last week or so of comics is that Marigold's eyes have been darting around in every panel. I know that look well: nervous, worried, trying to take it all in so she doesn't make any mistakes...
...and now, she's blindsided by Tai's simple comment.

I noted the exception with Momo since she is not replaceable, assuming AntroPCs are true AI. Not wanting strangers (at that point) to touch her stuff wasn't necessarily a sign of how much she values said stuff, but likely of paranoia and suspicion. She was, after all, leaving her things around to collect rat droppings.
