If you mean your namesake, then yes indeed. She is still there and alive and well at the end, if a little shell-shocked. :)
I'm sorry that someone at work abused you like that. I can't imagine how people like that could possible think that was acceptable.
You weren't condescending, and I appreciate your point. Funnily enough, I had just read a post by Avalon's Willow (http://seeking-avalon.blogspot.com/2008/03/racism-101.html) that pointed out that intention isn't the point so much as the effect. So I realize that while my intentions might be the best, well, that's the road to hell, right?
My hope is that I'll be able to have well-rounded characters of colour who are also cool and kickass and good and brave. :) My fear is that I'll end up making the same mistake Joss Whedon did--having characters that are either cool or awful, depending on your point of view. That's a mistake I know I made with "Dauntless", and will try not to make again.
