She has her wits, her courage, her determination, and the strength of her convictions.  I think she's pretty awesome, and I've enjoyed watching her grow.  ^_^ She doesn’t need to be a badass magical psycho.  I mean, psychic.  :-]

But, remember she elected to have experimental technology added to her arm in the hopes of becoming stronger. She gets placed into unbelievable difficult situations. Any prudent person knows when they stand a chance and when to step back and let someone stronger step in. So, even though she gets out-matched a lot, she keeps trying. And she's getting stronger as she goes.  People are always hard on Reona because she isn’t a badass magical psychic .

Its for the best, Calle is busy enough as it is, I'm not gonna ask her to draw another story on top of Zap. And if I did, it would be to finish “Hardluck” before a pirate sidestory.

I'd think about having someone else draw them, but I couldn't. These characters our both Calle's and mine and it wouldn't feel right having someone else do it, I think.
