My apologies for having gone and trying to rush things. You're right with everything you've said, especially with the stuff regarding this being a joint-project. You being the narrative lead didn't justify me pushing all the correcting work onto you.

Anyways, I agree with individualizing our Nine from her original character in BB. My depiction of her may have been a bit too harsh due to a combination of my misunderstanding of the exact direction we were heading with her, and 3 consecutive episodes of Tanya the Evil (residual thoughts/impressions and the like).

I'm for giving her a bit of humour, but in turn I'm not entirely sold on the idea of the "straight-headed and reactionless" part, partially because I don't think I entirely understand what you mean, but also because I don't think our Nine would react in such a way. To give her character a bit of humanity (which would contrast well with the fact that she's not physically human anymore), I would deem it best that we show that she would rather be frustrated at the efforts of those weaker than her, especially if she thinks that it is futile. Here is Nine, having sacrificed most of what she has to save those in need, only to be pitted against those that are weaker than her. Sure she'll end victorious, and the distressed would be saved, but her opposition would have to be culled, clueless that they had no chance from the very beginning (I'm getting most of this from Trouble in Ionia). To generalize, it wouldn't be that she's hesitant about killing, but more that she pities those who give their lives in a futile effort, and is frustrated at herself for having to mostly refer to killing as to resolve the dilemmas surrounding her. I'd say it gives a touch of uniqueness to the character, in that unlike most others, our Nine feels powerlessness from overpowering her enemies, and not the other way around.
