I think we are using different definitions for the word. An antagonist can be your best friend. All they have to do is be opposing you in the story and they gain that title. Since this wikia tends more toward Antagonist over antagonist (i.e. major opposing forces verses simply opposing forces), that is why I compared her to Scarlett (who by the definitions used here is not an antagonist, but is actually listed as one, so it was apparently a bad example), since right now she is more a minor nuisance antagonist rather than a major enough one to get categorized as one. She is actually less of an antagonist than Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn's a love interest, so despite the fact that she definitely fits the definition of antagonist in spades (not so much recently, but in the early books she was), she is not listed as one.

You make a valid point about Beckett. I suppose it's possible that Xanthe is simply catty, an early Michelle Nguyen type, but everything she has done so far points against this theory. It is still possible I suppose and I would seriously love to make an ally of her, because I think she would be an incredible asset if she was an ally, but so far this looks unlikely to me.
