I quite agree with you. I was just using her obsession to highlight another thing I love about her; her determination.

In general, her whole 'obession with Torchwick' arc in volume 2 really made me really appreciate her character. She was regulated to a background/plot progression character in the first volume, but was so wonderfully explored in this one. Volume 2 really got across just how flawed she really is. One thing that I find especially interesting is her lack of trust. Like you said, she claims to want equality and peace between humans and faunus, but hides who she is from the world (although I think this is also a smart move; she is idealistic, but doesn't let it keep her from seeing the world for how it really is. She knows that she'd be subject to ridicule and hatred if she didn't wear her bow). She keeps secrets from her friends and flees from people who want to help her. Part of me can't help but wonder if Adam contributes to this. After all, he was close to her and turned out to be a 'monster.'
