Bit late to the discussion, but wanted to chime in:

I had hoped they'd go a different route with her. When they arrived at the farm, I was hoping she was going to sort of pair off with Leo as her friend/ally akin to how Raph is typically with Casey and we have Don with Harold. Mike's got his friend at the pizza place (and I'm surprised that cop he worked with in his 1 shot hasn't come back up).

I had hoped pairing Leo with Alopex would have allowed her to develop as a character without having to slip into the romantic interest role.

Plus I wanted Raph to continue not to trust her so by having Leo do so, actually put more foundation between the two of them butting heads down the road.

Plus, c'mon, having Rat King's chosen game piece and Kitsune's chosen game piece actually be good friends? That just makes for a perfect conflict.

Alas, they just went the shipping route. -_-
