She's Chinese and there's a strong One Child Policy. My second and probably strongest reason is her social skills. She's got to be the ONE ( as in - in charge, center of attention, first ONE to be taken care of, the one who's needs are met and considered etc.) If she was an eldest child, she'd still have Alpha tendencies, but she'd be more nurturing, which she doesn't seem to be because she's always on "point."

Again, I speak of her Asian side only because I can somewhat relate. Honestly, it's pretty accurate too. Straight forward, stoic, sometimes very overly aggressive and abrasive. Mixed that with Type A and, there you have it. CJ.
I agree with quite a bit of this, except for a couple points. The chance that she is an only child is pretty big, especially if her family came from a Chinese city. I know that people in rural China tend to ignore that one child policy. However I've met some people who were the eldest but are not at all nurturing, because they never dealt with their siblings as babies. They look at their younger siblings as, and I quote "the midget that lives in my house".

The other point I don't agree with is... stoic. Really? You think she's stoic? I just can't say I agree.
Point in case Chapter 37-3.
Granted she lost a limb, and maybe there's only like a handful of people who would be stoic about that, but just in general I don't think she's stoic.
(small and resigned voice) Or maybe it's just that CJ annoys me...
