I was sure "coy" was the word I wanted to use, but I never really thought about the full definition, so I looked it up out of curiosity – All three definitions could apply to Seiko from time to time.

From Encarta.com:
"1. evasive: annoyingly reluctant to make a commitment or to divulge something

2. pretending to be shy: pretending, in a teasing or provocative way, to be reserved or modest

3. shy: shy or reserved in social situations"

ghostrunner: I said "aside from the company," silly! – Meaning his apartment has better company than jail. (I don't know what your definition of "better" is, but…)

n_y_japlander: She usually has a pretty positive outlook – and her own unique brand of logic.

LanceDanger: She's very different from her sister. :-)

Peipei: Seiko has a different perspective on the world. Until she explains her train of logic (and sometimes even after that), she seems a bit nuts.

amanda: Originally, I was going to have Seiko alone, but it dawned on me that Violet lives in that town and would most likely be hanging around – considering her connections to Seiko and to Detective Nash. (This is a case of a character writing herself into a scene.)
