my favorite thing about red is that shes fucking ready to fight
maybe its just cause the way i play her is like, blasting through the process at maximum power with no subtlety whatsoever because my skill at combat games is. limited to say the least. but im also pretty sure she’s just like that.
like. take boxer. in general he seems like a pretty chill dude. there’s the common headcanon that he’s red’s bodyguard and if that’s true, he’s probably the kind of guy that won’t start fights unless it’s absolutely necessary. boxer is the one making smart choices in this relationship, like finding a way to get red safely out of town with the minimum of conflict. boxer looks at the mess that is cloudbank and is like…no, this is a fight we can’t win. boxer out.
but red is angry. and when red is angry, shes not fucking playing around. her voice is gone. her lover is dead. she’s not about to take this lying down, dammit. red is literally going to kick ass until she runs out of ass to kick. while boxer looks at a situation and picks the least risky solution, red just rolls up her sleeves and goes for it.
