What is Dora's fundamental character?

(1/6) > >>

Is it cold in here?:
This is a larger issue than this week's arc, so I started a poll separate from the weekly comic thread.

akronnick:
We don't really know much about Dora's history before the comic...

What were her relationships specifically like?
How did she come to own Coffee of Doom?
Has she, in fact, made a Faustian bargain of some sort with one of the Old Ones?

we don't know any of this, hopefully we will find out, but judging from her behaviour since she moved in with Marten, she's currently serving as her own worst enemy.

Streetwise:
Her frequent and varied attempts to cat-in-microwave-BOOM! the relationship lends me to believe that her prior relationships are probably even worse than described, and she's trying to 'get out' before things go terribly, terribly wrong between her and Martin. I sometimes think that Dora is in an even worse position than Faye at this point in the game.

However, Dora/Martin was a great thing for both of them, and I'm finding myself wishing that she would stop trying to screw things up, but I think she might have done it this time, and really went "raving-lunatic-bitch" for the last time.

IanClark:
Was JUST about to make this thread...

Anyway, I think someone's fundamental nature is defined as what they think they should be, combined with any problems they can't overcome. To date, there is no evidence that I can see that Dora's misanthropic issues couldn't be overcome with a bit of therapy, and furthermore I see plenty of evidence that she wants to change. I'd say she's genuinely altruistic, pained by dealing with her own actions in hindsight and occasionally terrified of the person living in her skin.

Scared little girl.

When mom and dad were off doing their Hunter S. Thompson imitations, where were Sven and Dora?
