Thank you so much! I was really hoping that this fic might win over some of the people who see her as a throwaway character, because I always thought she was kind of neat, despite that she can't even transform. Once I got the idea for a fic, a whole bunch of ideas about who she was and how she related to others fell into place, and this was the result.
And yeah, as I hinted in the A/N, I've heard a LOT of criticism of her, some of it criticism I really didn't expect. Like, for example, a feminist critique that she doesn't speak, while the male characters do. I understand the heart of that critique and I don't even disagree with it... but all the same, I just had to spear it here because I never took her lack of speech as lack of badassness.
