You must know a much better class of people than I do.
Heh, no. She's okay. She's just not... vastly wonderful to me. Like I say I think it just treats her as more amazing than she is. She ticks off a list that she'd need to to in any way fill the narrative role ("kind, not too thick, bit of bravado") and yet other than that she's a bit flat.
Again, if most of the people that you know are braver, more curious, and more compassionate than Rose, then I envy you your acquaintances.
She is not remarkable within the universe she inhabits. Even in the real world, I am not that convinced she'd be notable. She wasn't in her own "real" world, which I suppose is the point. It wants her to be both average and exceptional and I while I can appreciate the craft that went into creating a character so stunningly average, I don't feel like that averageness can bear the weight of uniqueness that is placed upon her. She can't be both things, surely?
