The subject line made me think, at first, that we were talking
about Paradisa mecha. ;)

Yes, but as long as she's under her guardians' (they're not
her parents?) roof, they have the ability to monitor and modify
her behaviour. Her other option, of course, is to get kicked
out of the house, but I'm sure it would get very ugly long before
that. Hyperprotective parents have a tendency to get really,
really, really wacky, especially if they don't recognize her
rights as an adult once she's 18. I knew one girl in particular
I went to college with who--at 21 and older--still couldn't stay
out after 9pm without her parents' permission, and their
parents would CALL them every hour on the hour some nights, as
late as 2 am, which annoyed her dorm-mates to no end. No big
shock, then, that they also berated every fellow she ever had an
interest in as a slavering sex-beast who "wasn't Christian enough"
(surprising considering that Julian was the president of Christians
in Action on campus). The last time I saw her, she'd just finally
been able to move out on her own--at age 29--and she looked like
a complete nervous wreck.
So I'm a pessimist. What is the foundation of their not liking
you? Is she "controlled" in other ways too? Or is it just this
one specific relationship they're against?
