Least Favorite Character Thread
NemoX:
Mmmm, I don't think there is a character I can say I "dislike" per se. At most I could say there are some I just don't care for, but that would be mostly to them being minor characters or irrelevant ones on one level or another.
If I were to have to choose tho, I'd say it Ellen. You could scratch it to her being young, not knowing any better, impulsiveness or whatever, but it still sucked what she did and I have gone thru something similar, so not really fond of the character past that point.
Most of the cast, despite their faults that may make them unlikeable at times, tend to have redeeming qualities that make them go to at least a "meh, they are ok people".
There are more I'd like to see more of if anything else, but it's hard to fully dislike most of them.

I tend to see Claire as more "unfiltered" than condescending; she's certainly opinionated, and she'll say the first thing that comes into her head without much thought as to the consequences (q.v. the incident with the beer can), but I don't really get "condescending" from that. I'm curious -- why do you think she wouldn't be at the library any more if not for Tai? I haven't seen her do anything in-comic that'd be a firing offense.

Yeah, I meant the 'Not taking orders from a homewrecker' thing. A less chill boss would probably have told her that this is none of her business and if she doesn't want to take orders from her boss, she can just stay home. On the topic of 'unfiltered' vs 'condescending'... She's pretty rude, whether it is to friends or to people who she really doesn't know that well, and while a lot of people are unfiltered on stuff, they won't say 'are you kind of dumb' to a friend of a friend.

Ms. A seems chill and accepting, and Claire seems to take after that, her anxiety issues aside. We've only heard of, and not seen, Clairedad, but I'd wager that Clinton takes more after him than his mother, and I'm curious to see both how that informs his relationship with his sister and what that might mean in-comic later on.
As for his reaction? He'll overreact operatically, the same as he has with everything else. The fact that A: it's none of his business who his sister dates, B: Mom already approves, and C: it's not like there's anybody else for him to commiserate with among the existing cast means he can either get with the program, or stew... but should STFU in either case. If I had to guess, I'd say he'll get with the program; Claire's placed a lot of trust in Marten, and up to this point, he's repaid that trust admirably.

Interesting theory about Clairedad! I hadn't thought of that, but you're right - even though we haven't seen a lot of Clairemom, she doesn't seem like the type. I hope we get some kind of scene where Clinton starts to make a fuss, and Clairemom tells him nicely that she thinks they're a cute couple and that he should eat his pancakes and stop acting up ;)

After several days of consideration, I think my least favorite character has to be Homestar.
