Well, that's all right--everyone's entitled to his/her own feelings and opinions! Heck, I would like to see her brought back and developed better. I'm not entirely certain what you meant regarding good fortune and fortuitous coincidences (the writer is always in control of the situation, so it's really only ever the appearance of coincidence--but they happen all the time in real life, and are often needed in stories.) Yes, it's true that you can't always judge someone based upon one situation, and we don't know quite enough about Cadence yet to pass a great deal of judgment about her other than to say that she is pleasant, kind, caring, sweet, peaceful, mellow, friendly, affable, etc. I know that isn't the best possible example to demonstrate a character being optimistic (tending to look on the bright side and expect good things) or pessimistic (tending to look on the gloomier side and expect negative things)--but again, there isn't a ton to go on so far, and thus we can't know whether she generally tends more toward pessimism or optimism, or is somewhat balanced. I would guess optimism given her sunny personality, but it may be that in tough situations she has a tendency to give in easily to despair. It's speculation at this point; hopefully we will see and learn more about her in the future.
