You pointed out some "flaws" or maybe "not thought-out-to-the-end" -things, that I did not notice or consider that important and helped me see her "reasonableness" partly in other light. Yet, I'd still say she makes sense (generally speaking, of course, I don't necessarily agree with her about everything, for example "being certain"; that varies too much from one baddie to another).

I disagree about being in-character all the time. But let's not argue about that, the manner bugs me regardless of if it's in-character or not. Besides, I wouldn't compare her manner with Nilp's; Nilp says he's a wolf and Rikae just says that certain facts hint to her possible guilt. It is her manner that makes me wary of her, not her suggestions or something else. If she didn't have that self-accusing habit, she wouldn't probably seem suspicious to me. The points you, Mac, think make her wolvish-looking (or thingish-looking) I think could be interpreted in two ways; suspicious or not-considered-all-the-sides-of-the-matter. Without that "self-suspecting manner" I'd lean the later mentioned possibility, now I'm not sure.

Sorry, but I don't see your point here. Could you elaborate? Why are those statements contradicting? Am I stupid or are you not making sense?
