I think she's going to torch everything soon, and everyone's going to go "... where did that fire come from?"
"Oh, you know... my hair..."
"..."
"Now never mess with Ysengrin again."
"... Yes ma'am."

I actually hope that she doesn't do that, or if she does, it won't have much effect. If she succeeds, it will put her back on the pedestal of Mary Sue :P

Really? But if she does nothing, then she falls into a more "damsel in distress" role which doesn't work at all considering she's the main character. I never really ever considered her a Mary Sue. The story isn't about action or fighting, it's about the story itself and the intrigue of the setting, so I don't really see her showing them that she deserves to be the medium and deserves to be respected is a bad thing.

Granted, it would one-up Ysengrin, which would be bad because his character is that of protector/enforcer but he hasn't really succeeded at that yet. I guess it's more important that Ysengrin does something significant and Antimony backs him up and shows them that she's legit and is someone to be respected for herself and not just according to Coyote's whims.

Or while Ysengrin is fighting a bunch of them, some of them try to go behind him and get to her and she protects herself. That would work, too.

Since this is a training mission for her, I feel like she'd better actually do something. She doesn't necessarily need to singlehandedly solve the problem, but she DOES need to overpower at least one of these guys.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

And now for Annie to follow the will-o-the-wisp. Because that's a great idea, right?

I'm getting a kind of a lie vibe too. Seems too good to be true.
