Xi’an Coy Manh and the Difference Between “Character Development” and “Out-of-Character”

I really enjoyed New Mutants: Dead Souls up until #6. But then Rosenburg had to go out and pull some real stupid shit, in my opinion, with one of my favourite characters; Xi’an “Shan” Coy Manh, AKA Karma.
This is far from the first time Karma’s been on the short end of a writer’s stick; she’s unfortunately been a go-to punching bag since her creation, really. But this time isn’t just throwing her under the bus; it’s warping her entire established character in an instant.

Everything above? That is not character development. that is out-of-character.

First request down! Sanjiolo needed some KarmaCat in his life so I saw fit to oblige.

Real simple doodle. I wanted to do a pic with Shan playing with Kitty’s hair, since that’s what sparked the shipdom really. I call this one “Secret”.

That’s amazing! It really was that scene that started the ship. I mean

She’s not even trying to hide her crush. I loved that Liu wrote them together again. Karma and this ship need more lovin’, thank you so much!

Karma and Shadowcat by ~Autumn-Sacura

One of my favorite Marvel pairings-that-will-never-be. Or at least that will never be anything more than one sided because Piotr Rasputin is No Longer Dead. I just hope that if Xi’an shows up in Wolverine & the X-Men (she’s on the roster as staff, so it could conceivably happen) that the writers know/remember that she had major feelings for Kitty.

But I’m not getting my hopes up on them getting to share panel space again, because it’s just not likely to happen with the cast that book has all in one space.
