Karen Murphy, kind of a jerk

So I'm re reading the series and on Fool Moon now. I don't know why I didn't notice this on my first run and I don't know if it's just me but Murph is kind of a dick.

Anyone else feel that way?

Otlan:
She's a Chicago Cop, stuck in a Job where they basically send they're unwanted Officers. Don't you think you'd be kind of a dick too XD ?

JumpyDragon:
It took me a while to appreciate Karrin. I totally get her being gruff with the whole being a woman in a man's world and her relationship with Harry is still fairly new in FM, but I agree. She was a dick at first. I didn't start liking her until Summer Knight.

Dina:
Yes, at first she is. Took me a while warm to her. That said, it is fair to consider that we see things from Harry POV, a luxury Murphy does not have. I mean, we know Harry is doing his best to help and when he does not tell her things he has a valid reason (we may even disagree with his decision, but we understand there are logical reasons). Murphy does not know all that, she does not know Harry's intentions, loyalties and priorities. I see some of their relationship as quite alike to the classical Batman-Superman relationship in the comics. Batman is wary of Superman power and he took time to begin respecting Batman.

JumpyDragon:
Well, I guess being "tiny, yet fierce" has its cons as well as it perks ;)
