Aw poor Smoker that glimpse of her as an awkward miserable youth really spoke volumes about how she turned out the way she did, it kind of reminds me of this character Brienne of Tarth in A Song of Ice and Fire. She was an ugly girl who grew into an amazing knight but she still can't escape from the shadow of people deciding she doesn't belong, sometimes the message is brought about a little unsubtly (that's where the similarity ends) but the characterization and her insecurities really shine in situations such as when she's in a tourney and she finds out that all the other knights were being suspiciously nice to her because they were having a bet on who would deflower her, she beats the crap out of them in the actual tourney melee though which is fun

I don't want Smoker to be all ANGST ANGST all the time or anything but it seems reasonable enough to me to think that kind of thing would have left some mark on you. EVEN IF IT ONLY SHOWS IN SMALL GLIMPSES HERE AND THERE
I just try to hint at it every now and then, just something she's always dealt with that's kind of affected her in her own way. Not like, the core of her being or anything, but just a facet of her life, if that makes sense. :O She deals with it in her own way, haha.

Hunter never letting it go WHAT DID IT MEAN, WHAT WAS IT LIKE, WERE YOU A DANCER, WAS IT TRUE
and smoker just like pffft it's just a song, whatever

hahahaha A ONE WOMAN PERFORMANCE OF A CHORUS LINE
NOW THAT'D BE INTERESTING

Oh my goodness, I just watched A Chorus Line for my Broadway class, and wouldn't you know it, I'm supposed to be writing an essay on it right now instead of reading your comics. :D Oops.

[zarla]

Haha what would be the topic of the essay :o

[jazelock]

Oh, XD. It's nothing very interesting; just supposed to be my reaction to the musical and possibly diversity issues that it raises/explores.

I think this has given me a very clear idea of what Smoker's mom was like

[zarla]

Oooo how intriguing. :O I'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR MORE

[mushroom_dance]

I'm toying with the idea that Smoker's mom entered her in a beauty pageant when she was little. At first, Smoker's mom was slightly disappointed that daughter didn't seem interested in girly things, but figured that she just needed to be shown how awesome they are. She's still young, she can be fixed

[zarla]

Oh dang this is interesting :O haha
