Yeah, Buck seems to make the most of any situation. Either that, or he's too clueless to notice the drama unfolding right behind him, the poor little thing. *snicker*
I'll have to give Mary-Sue some thought, since I'm not fully sure about how I'll handle her character. Her bio depicts her as an optimist, but her career ambitions and political leanings give me the impression that she doesn't take crap from anyone. I guess that's why Daniel was shown to the door (and his little maid too).
Butting in just to agree. Mary-Sue's bio seems a bit disconnected from the actual character. I think that's part of the reason why many players (myself included) have a really hard time getting a feel for her. She's kind of cardboard cutoutish: Overly Driven Career Woman #186818(c)(tm). ' On the other hand, she's as far as I can recall the only career woman in Pleasantview at the start of the game! Unless you count the NPCs and Townies. 's kind of sad.
I took another look at her personality, and she's a LOT like Buzz. The only major difference is that she's in the middle of lazy/active, while he is very active. They're both outgoing, serious, and grouchy. Sounds like a perfect match.
You're right. Not many of the Pleasantview women work for a living, do they? Does Cassandra have a job at the beginning? I don't recall. Kaylynn Langerak has a job! ;) The naughty maid service.
In Strangetown, almost all of the women work, aside from the Singles (who are in the bin anyway, so they can't have jobs). Circe is all about her job, Olive is still a professional party guest in her old age, and Jenny is the only working member of the Smith family.
