>strong independent girlboss who refuses to endear herself to a man or look weak
>character arc consists of accepting her role as peacemaker's girlfriend and becoming less frigid
she's obnoxious with no payoff besides "ugh... I guess I DO like-like u... :/" right at the finish line, it's like a video game romance plotline where you say all the glib options to unlock sex (and dancing) and then she never has anything unique to say again
