And yes, by virtue of being a Paladin, she is \\\"strong, brave, determined, forceful, undeniably highly skilled in her profession, who believes in honor, and is always sincerely trying to do the right thing\\\". But only by her own screwed up way. It certainly wasn\\\'t the conventional way of a Paldin, but rather the mean spirited, judgemental way of a Lawful Stupid moral hypocrite (she condemn others for being less than pure... despite the fact that she really isn\\\'t that great a paladin). All of these reasons, plus more that is clear within the actual comic strips, shows that despite how comically screwed up the Order is, their treatment of Miko certainly isn\\\'t just being douchebags for the sake of it or \\\"anvillicious\\\", it is the natural consequence of having to deal with the deconstruction of a widely hated role playing archetype.

Long story short, for a Paladin, she has \\\'\\\'far\\\'\\\' too many issues to be a \\\"Designated Jerk.\\\"

*[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0224.html She comdemn the Order for not wanteing to sleep in the dirt.]] Whilst not all \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' bad compared to some other examples as an action, Miko\\\'s \\\'\\\'attitude\\\'\\\' was certainly self-righteous, calling it corruption. That is one of the many examples of her attitude not altogether being that great for a Paladin.
*[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0250.html She blamed the Order (most of them helped the innocent) for something that was so not their fault!]]

These are just someof the examples. Miko in general has beeen demeaning, insulting and clearly and obviously showing self righteous arrogance towards not just the Order (even towards Roy, who she even managed to have turned against her side through her own fault(see the strip where the aftermath of the exploding Inn). Finally, she killed an innocent person based on self delusion and still try to deny any wrong doing until death!

that sshe is the perfect demonstration

Edited Miko\\\'s entry as it made her seem far too blameless despite the fact that she has shown herself to to pretty mean spirited and altogether not as virtuous as she would seem \\\'\\\'despite\\\'\\\' being a Paladin. Miko\\\'s unpleasantness is on display (refusing to learn V\\\'s name, undermining Roy\\\'s authority, rushing off to battle without telling them the battle plan, yelling at a random hotel staff over a mattress tag, and a couple more instances in the compilation book involving herself alone or other paladins).
