Yep, people be hating.
Understandable, I made her and she pisses even me off!
And that last sentence of yours, yes, that is how it APPEARS but that is not and WILL NOT be such. I had to simply establish her character to be... well... as you said, (bitch). But you'll have choice and control over it, one way or another. Don't worry.
A lot of things.
There's been a week time skip wasn't there or something? Would need to go back to check. And yes, the blackmail part is what seemingly is the thing that ticks ppl off.
Either way, as I explained above... don't worry about it. You'll be able to deal with her in few ways so if you really don't want her crazy ass on you, you'll be able to do that!
Yes... it is. xD
