I've never seen Lana as perfect. I've seen her as occasionally downright villainous, but Teflon-coated, so that there are never any repercussions for, say, breaking into Chloe's computer and rummaging around in her personal files. Well, there was one repercussion -- Chloe ended up apologizing.
I used to really, really hope that TIIC are writing her that way on purpose. It fits in with her character's abandonment issues, and the "wishing rock" nature of the meteorites, that Lana would exude a sort of aura that would make people love her without reservation, want to be near her and crave her approval.
But then S2 started and any hopes I had for actual, sensible, character development flew out the window.
One man who writes good women, imho, is Robert Jordan. :startles: And, since WoT is in your interests, I guess you must at least find them acceptable. ;-)
I was gonna use a CLex icon, but I think I'll use my WoT icon instead.
