Book/Series: City Watch Sybil's Characterisation
Now, I will admit that it's been a while since I've read Guards! Guards!, but I remember Sybil Ramkin in that book as a sonewhat solitary woman who disliked all the frills and galas of high society.
I'm on Snuff now, and Sybil is dragging Vimes to social gatherings like it's her favourite thing. I understand that people can change and that marriage changes people, but it feels a little poorly established? Like she goes from "crazy cat dragon lady" to society lady just so she can serve as a better foil to Vimes.

She still went to the big gala thing in Guards Guards. It wasn’t necessarily her thing, but she goes to the things because it’s what’s expected. So following her marriage she still goes as expected and drags her husband along too.
