Favorite BO Member: Vermouth

 

Gosho has problems with writing women, but then, there’s Vermouth.  One of the reasons I love this series to begin with is that it partially functions as a spy narrative and Vermouth is the pinnacle of that.  She could be anyone, she could be anywhere, she is smart and dangerous.  And, most threateningly, she isn’t playing by anyone else’s rules.  She’s plotting against the Black Org, but she’s not really on Shinichi’s side, either–she’s got an agenda for him that she hasn’t fully explained and so she won’t let him die, but she’s got no reservations about hurting anyone outside of him and Ran.  She’s deliberately unpredictable, and so she’s a threat.  It’s great.
