What is Marigold's fundamental character?
Carl-E:
You can be a geek without having Asperger's.
I don't think the converse is true!
TheMorrigan:
Following my whole "I am Marigold" line of thinking, it's not so much that Marigold is self-unaware all the time, she's possibly TOO self-aware in social situations. It may not make sense at first glance, but it's a working theory for me. The little filter in your head that says, "Hey, don't do that, you'll make an ass out of yourself" is faulty for her. It either overreacts and keeps Marigold silent and introverted a lot, or (when she's vulnerable or excited) not active enough.
>.> Of course, the fact that I've now spent the better part of an hour over two days defending a fictional character probably says something about my own personality. lol

Oh... I wouldn't worry about that. We do that on here all the time! :D

What a great analogy! I had an engine thermostat that was like that - slow to open, quick to close. The temperature guage practically bounced from 3/4 to 1/4 on the highway...
Is it cold in here?:

Yes. Like an inexperienced cook, who either puts in too much spice or too little, Marigirl is an inexperienced socializer.
EDIT: compliments on a good insight. Also, this is why she should avoid alcohol: someone whose inhibition circuits are already out of whack should not be poisoning them.
