Uh-oh! You've already read the first two chapters? Better be careful! I've had people tell me that Courting Vipers tends to suck them in to the story!
And I'm totally cool with them being friends~. Leslie seems to have a habit of just declaring people her friends anyway as it is, so I have a feeling that she might have decided to befriend Caroline with or without my permission. Glancing at your blurb about the second panel, that's actually surprisingly accurate on many levels. Leslie WOULD insist on Caroline borrowing a dress (especially if she didn't have one to fit the occasion perfectly) from her wardrobe, but Les also has a tendency to constantly try to talk confidence into the people she considers friends. Even if she herself struggles with it at times, Leslie has a very firm belief that even if you have to grin-and-bear-it sometimes and fake confidence, you will in fact fool yourself and that false confidence can become legit confidence. (Leslie has some interesting personal philosophies.) Not to mention, she's also always going to tell her friends they're beautiful. And she doesn't mean it in a shallow way, though it usually takes people a while to start to realize that when Leslie says that they're beautiful no matter what, it's because she sees them for what's on the inside shining through.
>> I'm also not surprised at Les commenting on Caroline's age. Believe it or not, as she gets older, Leslie gets a little high-strung trying to keep herself looking younger than she actually is when she hits her sixties and Luiz STILL looks like he's thirty-something. So that's actually rather fitting. (And she would likely encourage anyone she thinks has the gift for it by telling them she thinks they'd be good at modeling. I doubt she'd actually try to push Caroline into it though, as she knows from what she's heard that the modeling industry is cutthroat and ruthless; after all, her eldest brother Steven modeled for a couple of summers, and he was able to give her horror stories from firsthand experience!)
And finally, I do have to say I'm extremely happy that you put both girls in different outfits in each panel! ^^~ Leslie's the OC that I love drawing in different outfits (and I try not to draw her in the same outfit too often) so I'm very happy to see that you stuck to that and gave her and Caroline a different outfit for each instance!

XD Then by all means, keep going! I've got up to chapter 8 posted, as well as the first two chapters of its sister-fic, Being Human.
Hmm, good question! Tony is usually pretty chill and laid-back about most people Leslie hangs out with. He's pretty laid-back in general (he's not at all what people expect, which is a stereotypical dumb jock; Tony breaks that stereotype) but if he learns of the seasonal sisters and their powers, he'll freak out a little bit. Once he calms down and gets used to the idea, he'll be okay again, but he has a very protective older brother instinct toward anyone he considers a younger sibling, not just Leslie. So superhuman powers freak him out a bit until he learns someone doesn't mean him harm. I think as long as Caroline is willing to be patient with how Tony has to work through that, then they'll get along alright.
\Steven though... >> Steven's a hard guy to read, even for his siblings. I think for the most part he would be indifferent toward Caroline, which is actually pretty good when it comes to how Steven treats anyone his siblings interact with. He's the family jerk... (for now, anyway. I have BIG plans to break Steven of that and give him some character growth. *wrings hands Cruella style*)
Well, I'm certainly not objecting! X3 Leslie has a tendency to grow on ya like that!
I don't blame you there!! D; Nice touch, looking up outfit trends! And you're welcome!

Wow, Kourt, Thanks! You gave me more ideas on what to draw now! Now I'm probably gonna draw Caroline using her Winter Powers while Tony freaks out in the background. Yep...this is gonna be funny! XD

XD You're welcome. And that sounds like it could definitely prove fun! If you need a reference for Tony's colors, just take a gander at what I use as the preview image for Being Human.
