There's of course other smaller-scope character plotlines happening in C4 which I think earn noteworthy mentions, I for one really did enjoy the Misfit's narrative and (mostly) cohesive storytelling through the tourney, or my teammate Hemma's character arc of overcoming grief and living for what exists today for yourself. Zehya's fall from grace into paranoid hurt and existential terror, Time Warrior's development into a heroic figure fighting essentially god in his last match, Head Investigator essentially rediscovering his humanity past a haze of insanity; you get a lot of very interesting character developments here to mentally chew on and I know there's more I probably haven't mentioned too.
If I were to put my finger on it, Berry does have the most presence in the estate of the ongoing major plots while also (quite incredibly) keeping to a third narrative on her plate that is more personal than the sweeping effects of either previously mentioned big plots.
Clovis I think despite not being a main player in any plotline just had a charisma to him that got people interested in him, his antagonism to his own team, his severe and (mostly) serious demeanor, and his bigotry against anthros made him compelling and incited what became the crux of his and Berry's plotline of her distaste of his conduct versus his attraction to her.
It's not anything too special but there's an interesting aspect to the pair that has its own special gravity and takes up narrative space on Berry's plate. There's a thrust to defeating Clovis as there is to defeating DOOMVA, an idea of overcoming evil to free the oppressed and exploited that looks really good on paper.
But I think what's interesting about that is nothing ever is quite so black and white, and it's that small snag that tugs Berry back by the nape of her shirt that also results in a general resistance TO the CUM rebellion plotline.
