I think you're very good at both of your characters, I am always amazed by how much I can hear Fred in the wording of your tags especially, but there is something about her I've been meaning to ask.

Is there a reason for how depressed she's been for the last few months?

It seems as though every post or log I've seen has been her either baking (while trying to get rid of her sadness) or being genuinely upset. I understand that events in game can pile up sometimes, but I haven't been able to find where a lot of it has come from and I wonder if I've missed it? I can understand her getting stressed about the pirate plot (as alternate dimensions) and Gunn arriving (with Wes and all), but this was going on quite a bit before the pirate plot and I just wondered what was causing it?

I've missed seeing Fred at her happier times; in canon she can be shown to be quite resilient and her quirky sense of humour is something I'd love to see more of! Apologies if this is wall o'text or not very clear, it's just something I thought I'd ask for clarification on.
