I guess I don't feel that she is heavily focused on boys; it's just a nice bonus. Pouting and writing someone off is a natural response, I feel, for a seventeen year old girl who, let's face it, is pretty used to getting what she wants and, if she doesn't, finding a way to make it happen. If she tries to have fun with someone and they're just being contrary, she has to wonder why she should bother. I can see how this impression might be given off from a few interactions I've had, though, so I will try to keep an eye on that.

Competing with other girls, though, I don't see that at all. I've always felt she's celebrated and encouraged the relationships of her friends. Sure, during last summer, she competed. She had to, worried about becoming seaweed and all. But definitely not so much anymore. Even Seifer's off limits just one the basis that Rinoa used to date him...
