I do. So many creators seem to be so desperately in love with their characters that they cannot give them flaws or see thir foibles, and I never wanted to be one of those. Instead I prod and malign her, as a reflection of how the world tends to treat her, but she's tough enough to bounce back from it all. She's no surface veneer, she's got honest depth and internal struggles that she tries hard to overlook, but doesn't always manage to accomplish. And her best friend is always there to back her up, but also to remind her that there's an embarrassing moment always waiting for her just out of sight.
So yes, I suppose I do enjoy needling her, and I suppose that could be seen as insulting her. She is by far my favorite, and I'd rather be accused of loving to insult her than to be in love with her and unable to see her maligned in any way. To my mind that would make for a pretty boring saga.
But different strokes for different folks I suppose.
