I really like her too, she is an awesome character, that's why I'm kinda disappointed she wasn't given an official LI status (yet?). Anyway I hope you're right about her.
Nyx hasn't changed her discourse on who is a LI since she first spoke of it(fairly sure Iris didn't even exist yet when Nyx first posted the list), i think she regrets spilling on who actually will have a happy ending.
I doubt she ever comes out and say "Gabi, Val and Iris have been upgraded to full LIs", that woman loves to be mysterious and clarifying things like that is the opposite of mysterious.
Nyx will keep all fans of Val, Gabi and Iris on the edge of their seats until the end.
All these non-LI get more stuff than certain confirmed LIs (coff Elena coff).
For the record, given the strong connection she has with the MC i think she deserves better than simply being a trip mine for other girls like Alexis or Erynn, so i hope she does get "upgraded" but i doubt we are getting any official word on it.
As the only fatty in the game Layla is representation
As for long-haired Iris, that's just absurd
I think the actual fatty representation is Mrs Naomi and Zach's sister, those 2 seem not to have perfectly tomed bodies and some serious junk in the trunk.
Jury is still out on bartender Gianna, not fat by any means but at least curvy.
Too bad they are all minor characters.
If you want someone with a bigger presence in the game, i think Gabi is your girl, not fat, her stomach is super toned, but some serious curves on that lady.
