I really like Chris, but her character lacks consistency. It is difficult to bond with a character when you cant understand their motivation, it is impossible to understand a characters motivation when they act in contradictory ways from scene to scene.
Character development is difficult in a linear story, I imagine a story with branching paths makes it much more difficult.
Chris is dominant. She would say: I am the queen, I am the alpha female, I do what I want and everyone will shut up!
"As an example, she is completely fine with hitting on all of her staff, yet throws the book at them if they decide to have sex."
In pack of wolves, only the alpha female has the right to mate.
"Completely trusts her engineer, yet decides landing the ship with the air brake not functional is fine, despite her engineers recommendation that it isn't and could kill them all."
She considers herself the leader of the team.She trusted them, but when it comes to her life, she trusts more in her own abilities. (She's the pilot.)
