Nice quads, but I just don't see it. Pencil to me shows herself to be a massive cunt. Sure you could say it's from deep distress over being trapped in the E.X.I.T for fuck knows how many years, but that was caused by HER actions. She had a chance far earlier on to escape, but didn't take it due to some petty reasoning. The shit she does in "Seasonal Shift" is colossally selfish as she quite literally almost doomed the world (or fell into One's trap) all because she couldn't accept that she fucked up in the past. Tbh, I'm pretty sure she could get all of them back (except perhaps Ice Cube) if she played her cards right and tempered it down with her inherently asinine personality. I don't see most of Freesmart being picky if you give them some magic show of quirks.
As for Book, while yeah she can be a bit of a jackass, at least she can get in line. Even with the whole Taco Tomfuckery she did in BFB, she eventually got her shit together for the most part by TPOT. Pencil on the other hand has had like 5 of those "pep-talks" and is still fucking over the timeline for some selfish desire she could probably achieve anyways without fucking over the timeline and giving One the power on a silver platter.
