What is Faye's fundamental character?

The thread about whether Dora needed to be pushed into therapy.

...and here it is in standard form. 


Seriously, where'd that link come from?

From Google. I've found it to work better than the forum's search function.

Amanda ran to Faye instead of any of her local or school friends. That says something, if it wasn't just a dramatic device to introduce her.

I disagree. As a friend and privy to the relationship by way of living with the couple as a roommate, knowing both parties involved the way she does, she had a far greater understanding of the two people involved. What this means is Faye was made quite aware of the issues concerning the break-up, and as I mentioned above Faye is one of those people who will give you a swift kick in the ass when you need it.

Dora is very much a person who can make up her own mind, and had she decided she wanted to move on from Marten (even without giving a reason, or if she just felt like it), I doubt there wouldn't have been anything more than a "What happened?" kind of discussion. But she knew the why of it. And in the role of the kind of person she is, she called bullshit on the motion. This is her character, and what makes her so valuable; what she said could have been said differently, but the core of it NEEDED to be said. Dora had already prior stated that she wanted to change and not be so insecure, and Faye saw her using those insecurities to make an issue of something that didn't need to happen the way it did.

If you had known you had an issue - any issue, alcoholism, some other addiction, bad hygiene, whatever - and you made excuses or otherwise kept falling into a hole to indulge that issue to your detriment, would it not be useful to have a friend to help drag you out of it?

So yeah, I disagree. I see in that instance Faye doing Dora a service as a friend, in the way she feels it would best be taken seriously. Plus, it still suited the comic and set up the punchline.

What does it mean that Faye never had a pet or an AnthroPC?
