I'm glad you think so. That's honestly the vibe I wanted to nail when it came to Kuon. She's fickle, chaotic, and quite vain. She's also got an interesting story behind her development. She originally was planned to be a major antagonist, and a dark one at that, but what happened was I ended up creating more villains, who I liked far more than her. I also just couldn't think of a good plot-line for her. The other deciding factor was that if I made Kuon a dark villain, I had to make Nyoan's backstory dark, which I didn't want as I wanted her to be the designated comic relief character. To give an idea of the vision I had in mind, Nyoan and Nyogaku were originally meant to be honors students who Kuon harbored jealousy towards due to their intellects. Thus, she not only beat them in DESPER matches and turned them into catgirls, but also altered their personalities to make them dumber. Since I already had a better villain in the works to handle the jealousy idea, I felt it would be a bit redundant for Kuon to have that as her main selling point.
But while I didn't know what to do with her early on, which leads to her being relegated to the background most often, I finally figured out what to do with her, meaning she'll become a major antagonist after all, and what she'll do will be quite dark, and very vain. It won't be for a while though, in fact I haven't actually written it yet, but the build-up to it is sprinkled throughout the already uploaded story. The big reveal of her scheme and the main cast's confrontation with her has also been outlined, and will take place when the current season, season 7, reaches it's climax. That is a ways off, but if you like Kuon's character, I hope that info gets you excited for what's to come for her character.
