Well, like I said, there really haven't been many comics yet, and I'm only now figuring out what I want to do with the characters (the first run didn't even have main characters). This new Hob storyline is hopefully going to kind of establish actual personalities for the characters. Also, it's not really about Kimiko being unable to act, but rather that she takes action but is constantly thwarted by her surroundings or by herself. Prior to the Hob story, she's pretty much just an embodiment of persistent inquisitiveness who is never allowed to "win". Those comics are more about exploring abstract ideas that I like than they are about portraying a deep character. Even after I flesh out Kimiko, the comic will still ultimately be about playing with ideas more than being character-driven. That isn't to say I want wooden and uninteresting characters, but that I'm just not interested in dramatic or personal content.
