The only time the ojou-sama archetype is actually funny that I've seen is when it's played so that they actually have some sort of absurd commupance for all their equally absurd vanity, but this one seems like it wants to side step that idea entirely for the sake of preserving the main characters perfection and again I have to ask where the potential for humor is supposed to be in that.

Keep in mind I'm a fan of cyncial and even black humor, but not meanspirited and childish humor.
Is the ojou-sama archetype the source of her comedy? She pulls it out from time to time, but I think the comedy is supposed to come from the whole absurdity of her perfection, when it's being used for comedy that is.
