Are the cir***stances so different, though?  I'm not talking so much
about the chipper tone of the interactions with the characters (some
of which works better than others; I like her trying to get Wesley to
joke and bonding with her fellow yammerer).  I'm thinking more about
her reaction to cir***stances which involve her being treated as a
great witch and her attitude in tossing around needed spells in
"Orpheus," compared to her reaction to cir***stances which involve her
being treated as a great witch and her attitude while cautiously
casting needed spells back home.
