Unfortunately for some, Vriska is the Protagonist of Homestuck.
re: OP
I am afraid I have to disagree with you. I would say that a lot of what has made Vriska a very emotional and impulsive character in the original comic was the fact that she was 13-16 years old (a fact which many seem to forget about her in particular). A lot of what HS:BC has done with Vriska is to allow her to do some growing up, which we all have to do at some point in our lives, and I think that her growing up and becoming more mature and a modicum more at peace with herself (not wanting to Literally Die in order to "redeem" all the things she thinks she has done wrong) is actually a very good direction to take her character!
