I really thank everyone for the support. A big part of my problem with this person is my own character, whose personality is very subdued, and aggressive upfront outbursts are very rare if not impossible from him/her. This sort of locked me between the two metaphorical fires, one being my will to not give this RPer what they wanted from me, and the other being the risk to break character by acting how they wouldn't. That resulted in my denials to always be polite, calm, and seemingly not effective for this roleplayer.
I don't know, maybe they think that until the day I openly tell them to fuck off and get lost, insisting is fair game.
Should they come and find me again, I will try and bring the rejection to the OOC level again, where I can be a little more straight (although I am also a very mild person, and making others angry/dislike me is always a throb in the chest for me, which is why I'm reluctant to block people). I really hope we can part ways in friendly terms, but it sounds like I'll have to cope with it, should this not be the case.
I personally don't think you should concern yourself with breaking character on an IC level; rather, the stalking and problematic material is coming from the player, who is using the character as a vehicle to express it. You should handles this on the OOC level first rather than attempt to engage on an IC level.
That said, if you feel it necessary to handle this IC - people break character under unusual situations all the time. Yours would be far from the first, and having her normal attitude change in response to this would be normal in and of itself.
