But wait - what if Renee meets Clinton and decides he's the most adorable thing she's ever seen (unlikely but....)
I like the way she's drawn though! This ought to be interesting.

I don't get the same vibe. Renee does appear to be jumping to conclusions. About Clinton as well as about how vulnerable Brun's difficulties in handling emotions make her. It is easy for us to dismiss her concerns about Clinton, because the way the story unfolded (which is something Renee did not see) he was painted as the good guy. OTOH we can safely assume that Renee knows more about Brun's history than what we have seen. There may be incidents in Brun's past that make Renee's concerns very real/valid. She may still make wrong conclusions about how well Brun is judging Clinton's character, because she was not there. Anyway, she seems to genuinely care for her. We will see more when/if Brun gives a more detailed account of the night of the fire to her.
It could be argued that similarly Corpse Witch knows more than we do about Bubbles' personal history. But her callous retort to seeing Bubbles in distress painted a very different picture - CW has her own agenda that is not focusing on Bubbles' emotional well-being.

She is not bad, she is just drawn that way.

It could make for an interesting story if Renee tries to tolerate Clinton for Brun's sake but is constantly flashing back or reliving abuse that she suffered for trusting the wrong person. Then it stops being the aggressive, obstructionist friend and starts being about a woman trying to handle her own demons whilst still trying to be a to a vulnerable friend.

Well I'm getting the vibe that Renee may be more messed-up than Brun. if indeed Brun can be considered messed up at all - she simply has her own way of dealing with the world.
Saying that, I could be reacting to her insistance on dumping on somebody we know to be fundamentally decent, if somewhat annoying at times.
Corsair:
I disagree - Renee's reaction reminds me of classic narcissist control technique. It's more subtle than Corpse Witch's almost blatant evil, but Renee's behavior has a definite stink of manipulation to it. Could also just be being overprotective, but, well, when your reaction to someone telling you they made a friend other than you is to call him a creep and threaten him it really doesn't say good things about you to me.
