But thus far, Claire has the most actual character development. All we know about Emily is that she loves the smell of books, she's in Compsci, and the idea of a smashed bananna is a cup amuses her. This makes her 'cooler'?
I find Claire more relatable. She's driven, she's a skosh insecure, she's passionate, she wants to make a good impression ,but doesn't brook bullshit...and she actually looks *different* than any character thus far. And is different, really.

And we know Tai is all about the deep relatable character traits. :roll:

Yeah, except I'm not discussing who Tai wants to boff. The poll above was specifically discussing what role Claire is going to play in the future story. Yes, one of the choices was a possible love interest for Tai, but I was responding to the overwhelming assertion that 'Emily is cooler'.
HiFranc makes some interesting points about Emily. Some of it's supposition, but I can get behind a 'show don't tell' methodology that Jeph might be working. That said, those conclusions only work because we have Claire to compare to. I think there needs to be more datapoints before we can nail anything down.

True -- I know I was basing my conclusions on the first impressions that new people gave.

Welcome to the QC and its forum.

That trick never worked with me ("dont think about superboring X"). I'm just too bored too quickly and theres so much more interesting stuff to think about.

*laughs* Thanks, dude. Longtime reader. Years, really. But I keep forgetting there *is* a forum because the link is so inobvious. I'm sure I signed up once, years ago, and forgot my username. But I doubt I made many posts then, either.
