sdigjsdif YES. /stamps JUSTICE over your comment. On that note, even that tiny bit of development she had was pretty shit. Becoming a normal girl = having a retarded, out of character crush over a cute boy and cutting yourself over it because omg feelings are so hard!!! I mean, duh, didn't you know every teenage girl has to get crushes. Also, it seems to me like Kyle and Yost acknowledge they're having her develop backwards -- like, in Messiah War, in that one flashback panel with Kiden where Laura was happy and sunshiny and grinning? When have we ever seen Laura grinning in present canon, as written by Kyle and Yost? Oh, right. Never.

Yeah, it seems like that to me too, and while I acknowledge a big part of it is probably due to how much I love Laura, you can't deny the number of covers that feature her being miserable/maimed/whatever. I think for this arc there are like, three covers like that. In a row. What.
