Vriska... I freakin' LOVE that character.

All the same, she's evil as hell. Chaotic at best, and hard on the few who try to be her friends. She's responsible for so much horrible stuff, and thoroughly frustrates the progress of the good guys.

And yet, she's a sympathetic and well-written character that's easy to empathize with. In her own weird way, she's tried to help Tavros by making him stronger. (Not seeing that in her hubris she's only weakened him.) In her own weird way, she wanted to take down Jack and save everything. (Not seeing that in her recklessness she'd sacrifice far more than she saved.)

Tavros, Tavros had my sympathy at first as a woobie, but the dude just. Will. Not. Muster. The. Courage. He won't succeed, because his self-doubt stops him cold. He KNOWS this, and cannot change it. Not on the smallest level.

So FRUSTRATING!

Those two actually kind of deserve each other, in their weird way. They frustrate the hell out of each other, and maybe eventually they'll get to the point where they properly keep each other in check like they need to.
