"All the other female characters have been antagonistic to her, because comedy."
What's he going on about? Sniper's mom was never very antagonistic towards Pauling, and she's never even met Mags yet (i think). The administrator may be cold and aloof but she's like that to everybody, I wouldn't say that's being antagonistic, especially since Pauling is the only person she's ever actually shown any modicum of care about. In fact the only time I can think of that statement making sense was "Once upon a time Zhanna does not like you. The End."
