That assumes a lot for two panels, two titles and one line of dialogue. It overlooks the wider story's understanding that tricksters can be saviours and heroes, like Nudge, Perseus and Odysseus. Athena, another character in Wapsi Square, has been known to be impressed by certain displays of cleverness.Nimrod wrote:Either way their acts are fake, possibly very dishonest and it simply could be outright fraud mixed with random accosting of townsfolk and property destruction.
This sort of story line typically ends (breaks apart) one of three ways:
1) They grow tired, they grow up or grow a conscience - any way they actually come to realize they are doing a "bad" thing and change. (exposure by guilt)
2) They are called upon to actually do the thing they pretend to do - they must actually kill a dragon and are shown incapable of doing it. (exposure by failure)
3) They are exposed by a third party, typically a child or other "innocent", develop a reputation and must atone somehow. (exposure by atonement)
So there we go, we have the potential for guilt ridden failures trying to atone or fraudulent hucksters bilking the unsuspecting with simulated heroics.
You can see why I am a bit underwhelmed...

There is a non-zero chance that the brunette is a Lanthian relative of Maya and Jin. If so, since she has no fangs, this must be before lizard teeth entered the family genome (Jin's snakiness predates her golemness.) So maybe moneygirl here really is just on the take, never reforms, and settles down to form the wealthy matriarchal Adeobie dynasty with her husband, the dragon.Wdot wrote:I had to go back and forth looking at The Vampire Gals and these girls to see if maybe it was them before they were turned so to speak.
