Here's a thought about Bubbles - Why did her squadmates give her that nickname? I'm thinking that, way back when, her personality would have seemed more like Emily than anyone else. Just imagine what a naive, enthusiastic, intelligent and friendly personality would go through in war and you get some idea of how she became the being she is today.

Eh, somehow I doubt it. She probably got called "Bubbles" because she isn't cheerful and effervescent, and it amused them to call her something so opposite of her personality. It was probably something that came up during their specialization training (and is a lot kinder than some of the ones I've heard.)
Radium_Coyote:
Bubbles' nick was surely meant to be ironic. And this is really Jeph hitting the nail on the head: Bubbles is broken, knows why, and has sort of accepted it, and WILL NOT be fixed.
Reality can change, and Bubbles will be unchanging. You sort of cement yourself into a role.
marsman57:
I wonder if AI in QC-verse can have memories removed and if so if Bubbles considered it.
BenRG:
There's a good reason for believing that memory erasure either wouldn't work or would actually cause worse trauma to Bubbles.
Our memories aren't like tape recordings. They're a framework of multi-linked data points and I suspect that the AIs memories work in very much the same way. So, the first thing Bubbles would have is a lot of de-contextualised personality quirks and other memories floating around. Imagine how traumatised amnesiacs get when they have skills and reactions whose basis they can't remember; it would be the same for Bubbles.
Secondly, Bubbles will have a huge gap in her mind between certain clock points. She knows its there and she knows that it's something bad or they wouldn't have erased it. What is it? She might drive herself into a psychotic episode trying to find out or perhaps being afraid to find out (c.f. the original Total Recall).

Agreed, wouldn't miss Faye at all.

Fine, we'll simply delete all the characters that people complain about and be done with it. QC then won't have any characters except Marten.

People probably complain more about Marten than they do about Winslow.
