So Courtney changes for one episode, then reverts back to her cheating, whiny, bratty demeanor? She changes in Basic Straining, then reverts back? She shows signs of changing over the first half of TDWT, then changes back? That's not a developing character. That's just a wishy-washy character who basically A) Teases the audience by implying she could change, then doesn't, and B) Makes it repetitive, boring, and predictable. That's another major reason why I can't stand her. Again, I want a character to go through an arc where they start someway/somewhere else, then change completely. Did you see Heather constantly switching back and forth between being good and evil, good and evil? No. She was evil all the way, no apologies, then began to slowly transition into a default hero by the end of TDWT. Overall, Courtney is not the kind of character you want to root for, nor is she interesting because she has the chance of actually going through real development. She's just wishy-washy and switching back and forth between being a whiny, cheating, Mary Sue and pretending that she's not a whiny, cheating, Mary Sue.
