Girl Genius/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 1,198:
'''Seffie:''' Because, my dear, you've been boorish, tyrannical, and an all-around beast, and now [Agatha] ''doesn't like you''. If I show up with you she won't like ''me'' either, and things will be ''so'' much easier if she likes me.}}
* [[Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Despite being madly in love with Gilgamesh Seffie has managed to keep him utterly unaware of the fact via her considerable talents as an actress, and has managed to seamlessly disguise her dogged pursuit of him over the years as merely being pragmatic power politics. (Which to be fair it actually would be). She does this due to having been raised in a [[Deadly Decadent Court]] where exposing one's true feelings and vulnerabilities was, to put it mildly, strongly discouraged and because she's already aware Gilgamesh's heart belongs to Agatha so she apparently believes she can only hope to hook him via his intellect.
