But she speaks in a manner like "Oh, Houtarou's good for nothing, y'know?" and stuff like that, so I think there is something behind it all. No doubt that your explanation plays a part, but there's probably more to it.

Overall, I still don't think she's a grumpy character compared to characters from other series. She just feels like a tip into the negative scale, but overall a very bright and fun character. Look at how cheery she is with Chitanda; I can't call someone like that a grump.
