Here goes...the character who often seems to get the most negativity, and sometimes it's for good reason. I know my LJ folder is gonna be swamped this week, but I'll turn you loose anyway LOL

I do like the animal loving part myself...but there are things that some of you say about her that I can see as well...both positive and negative.

Definitely. I mean, they all did, because they all have overt qualities and then very subtle qualities, and they were so largely glossed over at the hands of ghostwriters - it varies, of course, but nobody knows the characters like their creator, naturally.

And hell yeah - this is one reason why Animorphs is such an amazing series, because it has pretty much universally strong characters... main ones, anyway. You could argue that David's weakness (or just utter psychopathic evil) was his downfall. They're all positive and sympathetic and AWESOME in their own ways.

And I LOVE what you said last - YES - it takes BALLS to take a moral stance and stand by it, it takes a hell of a lot of perception and thought to even find that, and it takes so much courage to stand up for what you truly believe is right, in the middle of a LITERAL WAR ZONE, for pete's sake.
