User blog comment:SpongeGuy12/How would you make Lynn a better character?/@comment-4618045-20180106041447

Her central flaw is that she has a hard time taking responsibility for her actions. This has come up in a number of lights, most infamously in “No Such Luck”, where she clings to superstition to preserve her pride when she loses a game (to disastrous results). “Lynn-er Takes All” is a baby step in the right direction. But I think future episodes should have her take more steps similar to “Lynn-er Takes All”. These episodes can have her face more competitive losses and we can watch her struggle to accept it. She can try being “ultra competitive” to compensate or  pin the blame on someone else. Either way, it’s clear that loss takes a toll on her pride. And rather than have it all be for laughs, we can do some examining into why Lynn takes the loss so drastically. She’s afraid that if absorbs the responsibility that she will be less of an athlete and since that’s vital to her personality, also make her less of a person (which isn’t true). We could have an episode where she suffers a loss, but is barred from resorting to her usual outlets (her family chew her out for making everything a competition or for making someone else feel bad). Without these outlets, Lynn is forced to let her frustration and insecurity out in another way (such as self-deprecation). The others notice this and seek to help their sister out. And it’s thrlugh working with them that Lynn can truly learn to accept loss.
