The first time I heard Justice characterized as a b*tch was from you. We were discussing character theme songs and you had chosen "Cold Hearted B*tch" because, as you said, she is.
Now, up until that point, I had never considered to be such. She's forceful and intimidating, yes. The thing that I think you're missing is that what the PC's would characterize as b*tchiness, you characterize as motherly. I can see Justice as being a "motherly" character; however, she's only 18. And aside from perhaps Kaereth, she's the youngest person in the group. Thus, Justice's motherliness can be and is often taken the wrong way.
Up until 2 sessions ago, neither Xath(PC) nor Gertie(player) would have considered Justice to be a b*tch. But then, in the midsts of a tense diplomatic confrontation with an emmisary of evil, you undermine all of Xath's arguements by telling said emmisary that she is a fool, not only once, but TWICE while Xath was attempting to gain some information from him, completely undermining (in my opinion) Xath's position as a respected member of the circle. That, to me, was the first time that I would have ever considered that Justice earned her theme song.
I think the b*tch thing is meant to be taken lightly. It's a joke, like Archon's perpetual broodiness or Xath's inability to do anything as well as Penny. Don't take it seriously, and if you (Liz the person) have issues with us joshing around, just tell us. We can tone it down.
Certainly don't change Justice into what you think we think she should be. She's fine just the way you want to play her....although she and Xath are going to have words about the fool thing.
