Who needs Gary when you have Lavali. She's my favorite in this comic, but she is sadly a Gary with blond hair and an XX chromosome.

Do bear in mind that she has a record as a boyfriend-stealing drunken brawler. We've seen more of her nicer side lately in her own comic, but she isn't a saint.
Me, I'm still on Team Ruby. As I'm sure that people will be stunned to learn. And I still have a soft spot for Kiley, too. Heck, I find Sonya "likeable", in that I like her. Wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her one-handed, but she has flair. Or there's Jung, or Marie, or Tracy...
But actually, the real point is that these characters aren't built to be "likeable", or even sane. They do sexy, funny, and reasonably interesting.
I don't recall her ever stealing a boyfriend. I remember her being lied to by Matt and not knowing Matt had a boyfriend. When did we see her steal a boyfriend?

She's a bit more together and proactive. Can you imagine Gary giving Zoé a dressing-down, even at the second attempt, like Lavali did? She's talked herself into a stupid corner here, but this is a specific situation.

She may not have stolen Matt deliberately, but her speech to Dillon at the play was pure, I-got-him-you-didn't, nyah-nyah-nyah contempt. She chose to gloat about getting Matt rather than blame him for his lies.
Admittedly, I can't blame anyone for showing contempt for early-model Dillon - but still, she did the job.

Boy, is this getting increasingly cringe-worthy for every new strip.

Lavali's expression in panel two is golden and it seems like it helped jog Sandra's memory.

I'm just waiting for Aaina to make a blatant move on Sandra. Let's see the redhead try squirming outta that one. Especially if no one breaks out the alcohol.

the thing of it is that even if lavali doesn't have the lez-balls to clarify the situation to aaina, she could very easily have explained it to sandra, who would then almost certainly try to help redirect aaina's interest toward lavali.
it would still backfire completely, because you know: comedy.

The thing is, Sandra is coming across as more of a lesbian every minute this goes on. Lavali knows better, but Aaina doesn't and no one is telling her otherwise. So as the night progresses and everyone gets more comfortable with each other, Aaina may get emboldened enough to make a unambiguous move on Sandra. We may get to see how good sober Sandra is at squirming out of tight situations. If a bottle of spirits comes out during the night though, anything could happen.

Aaina looks really cute in her individual panel! Also good save, Sandra.

This could be the conversation that actually has Aaina start to realize, but then I think about it and I think they won't go that route

We already have seen sober Sandra in a situation like this with Cammi. She almost went through with it until she remembered she was seeing someone.

That was Sandra being hit full force by Cammi's seductive abilities, though. That one scene aside, Sober Sandra tends to hetero - and Aaina's may have great looks, but she doesn't have Cammi's charisma.

But if she was completely hetero, Cammi's seductive charisma wouldn't have worked. There's something there, even when sober.
But you're right in that Aaina isn't as skilled as Cammi.

If she were completely hetero, she would still be hetero when drunk - and a danger to the men, not the ladies.

Which part of "tends to" was insufficiently ambiguous?
