Liu Xi is sensible yet accepting. She wouldn't be particularly disturbed by invisible friends and creatures, but it's not the first thing she'd think of, either.

What I think is interesting though is that Samantha and Liu Xi have both endured trauma of having their childhood violently torn from them, but they've each dealt with it in entirely different ways. Sam took more a "justice" route - wanting to make right what happened to her by proactively preventing it from happening again to someone else. Liu Xi took a more passive approach instead, discarding her past and moving on (though she still gets particularly angry in cases that are too similar to hers).

Then again, maybe it's a bad comparison because Liu Xi has the gift of elemental power - if Sam had the same thing, she might be more confident and feeling she didn't have to work at it so much.

They'd both be jealous of Lara Night though - she didn't have a completely normal childhood, but hers was far more tame than most super-heroes'. Her parents simply divorced instead, and she lived away from them by choice. Incidentally, she also loves fairy tale stuff so she probably would have really enjoyed seeing this mission in action, even though Vinnie didn't so much.








Probably, but why didn't he leave it wherever he'll be later with Liu Xi? Also mingling it with his spell packets, that can cause a nasty accident. He could go looking for a condom in the dark and accidentally release a demon or something.
