Gracious, a LeBlanc piece I actually enjoyed reading. Well, of course.
I love the fact that even when she's being fair-minded and intelligent, she sounds like a bitch.
I can never figure out what I think of LeBlanc. Her basic portrait in FFX-2 like almost everything in it is over-sexualization of women and "women are bitchy and ruled by their hormones", so I wrote her off as a dreadful stereotype.
But you turn it on its head, challenging whether it's just us assuming that "bitchy" style such as hers is really any more of a problem than the various other hard-ass methods of power glorified in our films and political/corporate offices ("I'd follow him to the gates of hell").
Meh, which is all very meta, but the point is, you've got their voices down pat and great characterization, picking up on a tiny detail and running with it. My favorite sort of fanfic, "gap filling." Yay!
