From Maru:

What positions does your character defend in IC discussions that you-the-mun definitely do not share?

Iiiii am unsure if there are any that notably come to mind, since I have a reputation for picking characters that I personally agree with. I suppose Delysia's sexual proclivities aren't necessarily something I share. I also am not entirely against organized central government like Mal is? Or something? *eyes self* You know what I mean.

She-Hulk - is (well... WAS, as of three issues ago, before the catastrophic disbarment and ALIEN FUCKING INVASION) an officer of the court as a practicing attorney. Shulkie's incredibly progressive in her political views and she's on occasion chosen to represent people that would make me run screaming into the night, but she's done that because she has (HAD) an unshakeable belief in the right of everyone to have a good legal defense. Shulkie's deeply involved in the study of jurisprudence and Constitutional law, she's a firmly committed to civil rights, and she has a keen, keen sense of justice, honed even more finely after watching her cousin get repeatedly fucked over for the last ten years. I'm pretty progressive in my political views, but I'm much more of a misanthrope. Shulkie somehow never, ever loses that overall faith in sentient beings to ultimately act with kindness and grace.

Where I differ less with Shulkie is that she won't hestitate to punch out your lights and wreck your secret island fortress if she catches you doing something bad. Emotionally I can't argue with that, as I'd be likely to brain someone with a shovel if I caught them kicking a puppy or something.

Shulkie exists in this weird dual state of operating both firmly within the law and very much outside of it, but that's nothing new for any superhero that's also a costumed vigilante.

Shulkie's smarter than I am and she has much more of an analytical mind. I was kind of blown away when the Living Tribunal selected her to be one of the magristrati, because that shows just how sharp she really is. She's also far more clearheaded than I am. She likes people. I tend to like them less and less every time I read or watch the news or get on the internet.

Hawkgirl - Hawkgirl will unhesitatingly mete out death. I try to be a little more circumspect. She has a tolerance for gore and carnage that I could never, ever muster. Kendra operates on an old school sense of frontier justice, obviously, just like Hawkman and most of the other DC characters whose origin can be traced to ancient history (Black Adam, Nabu, etc.). "Due process"? Why bother?

Kendra spent a lot of time in continuity being defined mostly by her wounds and loss. That's very different from me, since I tend to try to take things head on and at least try to deal with them, while she at a certain point lapsed into avoidance, but that's more due to bad writing.

Kendra likes film and archaeology, like I do. But she likes greasy poor boys and fried food, which I most definitely do NOT. Ugh.

Also, hi Steph!

Edit: Oh, wait. Forgot to mention that She-Hulk is a libertine when it comes to men. She has a lot of good sex with a lot of different men and is not ashamed of this in the least. I, on the other hand, am capable only of serial monogamy. "Sex positive" does not begin to describe Jennifer Walters.
