What is Marigold's fundamental character?

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.

Overall, he's *not* an insensitive asshole, is he? I've had friends say to themselves 'geezus, I'm such a bitch' or 'god I'm so stupid' and immediately either asked what was wrong or discounted that they were whatever they were calling themselves...*then* asked what was wrong. I think it's a natural reaction to discount someone's self deprecation when you yourself know that they're being overly dramatic.
I actually disliked Angus a little on that comic.
I really am curious as to why he thinks she's SO great though (as he put it the other day). Either he was laying it on thick so that she'd come out of her shell and feel better about herself, or he really admires her for some reason. Which, as of yet, we have no backstory for (and in fact, have more evidence against, as seen in that comic you just cited). :\

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of him in that one, either.
I agree it's a natural reaction to rebuff self-depreciation, but I think it's also a natural reaction to express shock when you learn that something traumatic happened, especially to someone you know. It would seem more normal if she had said "that's terrible" or "how awful" or something like that after Angus told her about Faye. Yet the only concern she had was for the object of her affection. It doesn't seem like it was a conscious decision to react that way, and that's why I felt it was creepy.

I vote number one with a one-word addendum - "yet."

Yeah, I see what you mean.
Kugai:
I think Marigold is somewhat disconnected socially.
She may be one of those individuals that was naturally shy when younger, which may have led to her becoming a shut-in like she was when we first met her. I think it's going to be interesting to see her drawn out (pun intended) socially and personality wise now that she has connected to our favourite group.
Whether she becomes a better person because of it or becomes a terror only time will tell.
