Wow you're way too much of a snowflake if youre getting insecure or even offended about the "puppy"-talk. Everyone in the group knows and understands it isnt serious, we're able to read her thoughts too and its very obvious that she didnt consider herself higher than cj.How about all the constant puppy talk about CJ, making everything about herself always and straight away going for "CJ is my loyal servant" when they meet the other gang again in ~C33. There was clear separation between what was "her hurting" and what was her normal demeanor and the latter didn't garner any sympathy. I was actually more sad for her mother in the end. She got somewhat better later but I'm not certain her character has changed that much really. All in all she was raised as a spoiled princess and she acted like that. Furthermore she's the only one that acted like that in the group.
To each their own but I was really glad when that arc was over. I'm not actually sure did she ever thank anyone on screen before or after the time skip.
She's just playing dude .. the real roles between her and cj are shown in every single lewd scene and every single time when they are serious about something. She jumped from a fucking skyscrapter because she thought herself and her problems are a burden for her friends.
And if you consider a girl spoiled who isnt allowed to take any decisions for herself and everyone has huge fucking expectactions towards her to behave in ways she hates and which conflict deeply with her whole being, than you got something wrong.
