I guess I'm the only one who immediately recognized Dora..? Her general posture and face seem very much like Dora.

We don't see it anymore, but remember that Hanners has been shown as being extremely germophobic and affected by severe OCD as well as anxiety disorders. The anxiety we've seen she takes various drugs to keep under control. But it's been shown as not unusual for her to go for days without sleep, be up deep cleaning her apartment in the middle of the night and absolutely obsessive about her living space. She would not be an easy person to live with. And that's if she didn't say something that creeped said room mate out.

That could be part of the comedy; sort of an "Odd Couple" dynamic turned up to eleven. Yes, Hannelore is liable to drive any roommate stark-raving bananas, or send them running away screaming from the apartment. And any roommate would likely get on Hannelore's nerves in the worst way, tripping her germophobia/OCD and what not. Done right though, it could be utterly hilarious to watch. Or horrifying painful, if done wrong.
Utlimately though, I don't think Hanners is one of those people who can really live with anyone. Her...eccentricities would make her all but impossible to live with, and only someone equally eccentric (as in germophobic and OCD the same way) would be an acceptable roommate for her.

I recognized Dora right away as well. She has been growing out her hair in recent comics after all.

The only person I have seen in the strip who would be able to live with Hanners already lives with Marigold. Momo might not have OCD, but she doesn't make a mess nor does she have all the germs that go along with biologic processes. So any human probably wouldn't be able to make a living arrangement work with Hanners, but an AI conceivably could.
Is it cold in here?:

Sweet? She berated him and threatened him with a harpoon. In most jurisdictions, that's a misdemeanor, at least.
No, Brun's just another horribly, horribly broken character, the kind that this comic accumulates. Sigh.

Yep, that's a recurring theme of the comic, as are their difficult and partially successful efforts to get better.
