Aw! I think she's brilliant. Best human supporting-cast in years. Miles ahead of anybody in the live-action franchise, although admittedly now that I've typed that I could see it being taken for damnation with faint praise. Anyway, maybe it's just me, but just the two seconds of the opening credits she's in would have convinced me that she and Bulky are awesome. And she owns a Gibson Flying V.

Mind you, she and Sari are both a little older here than their screen counterparts. This is an artifact of having placed them at NAIS, not a deliberate modification for its own sake, but still. She doesn't have body armor or an antiarmor weapon in the original, and there are, I submit, few female characters, however awesome, who cannot be improved with both of those things. :)

That correspondence is... not entirely accidental.
