What is Tai's fundamental character?
Carl-E:
I actually meant her work as a TA, which deals with teaching freshmen first year students how to write. And she reverted to that position with Marigold almost immediately.
The Library's just to make ends meet - I worked at an NPR station while getting my degrees in math. I was training board operators and making schedules - an "assistant manager" type position, but it wasn't my real work...
But since my TA position barely covered tuition, books and housing, it kept food on the table!

Of course that may have been a one-off exception.

Not like when she threw a rave in the library.
Arky:
Hedonistic but not as much as she wants to be- held back from it by being fundamentally nice and liking to help people, although she doesn't suffer fools gladly. We knew all of this before the current Marigold arc, but it's certainly providing a condensed example. If Marigold wasn't in her social circle and she wasn't attracted to her, she would have deployed the sarcasm by now. It might still happen, but I have a feeling that she'll manage to keep a lid on it while Marigold is right there... but wait until Tai next sees Marten and despairs at how f'n clueless Marigold is.

No.
Just no.
We might not know a LOT about Tai, but "fundamentally nice" is not something she is.

Hmmm. Tai has been immediately friendly with everyone we've seen her meet in the strip, from Marten to Jimbo and onwards. Even in universe, we know that when she confessed her crush to one of her lesbian pals, said pal said she was a total sweetheart but just didn't feel that way about her. She's just about the least negative person in the entire strip, her first reaction is always to be friends and to help. Why wouldn't she be fundamentally nice?
