^ That's a good question. I think she was aware of some of the sass. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dished it right back.

Maybe she wasn't always aware, but I do think she understood that Topanga wasn't her biggest fan

rocky845

^ That's another side of the coin. =p Either way, Ava made sure people knew that she couldn't be messed with.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I feel like maybe Ava recognized that Topanga had a really strong personality the same as hers, so that's what made them a bit competitive with each other

rocky845

^ Oh, you know that's true. Like forces repel, and Topanga and Ava were definitely like forces. =p

starryeyesxx

That was definitely a big part of why they didn't get along at first imo!

^ Yup! I think they felt like they were looking in the mirror when they first met. =p

I love Ava's description of Maya. She was perfect in that!

starryeyesxx

She was, & I do think that they had a nice relationship that could have become sisterly over the years

rocky845

^ Yes! Their characters were similar in a lot of ways. I think Ava would have thought Maya was so cool if she got to spend more time with her.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I think that Ava looked up to her... & they definitely bonded when Ava's parents broke up

rocky845

^ Yeah. I can imagine Ava going to Maya for help dealing with her parents' breaking up.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I think that they would have grown closer as they both grew older, & I can definitely picture Ava going through a phase where she'd want to be like Maya

rocky845

^ Yes! She would totally pull it off too.

starryeyesxx

She had the attitude for it! :lol;

rocky845

^ She did. Her no-nonsense attitude was one of my favorite characteristics that she possessed. She was only going to be even more abrasive when she became a teenager.
