Re: marvel kaplan
1. I think they fussed too much, tbh. They gave Marvel a little too much attention and took care of too much. They reacted really strongly anytime things happened with her, so she often avoids their attention and their help out of guilt. It's made Marvel stubborn and prideful because she doesn't want to be treated like a child who needs doting on, especially knowing they'll bend over backwards for her at a moment's notice.
2. It's hard to tell sometimes, but Marvel really is good. Her politics and her attitude can come off as harsh, but she's fiercely protective of her closest people and, in a very general sense, tends to be on the right side of things.
