I think she was a good person at heart. She just failed to think things through sometimes, and, yes very liberated.ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑01 Dec 2017, 19:36Yes.

Do you think, Jennifer's libertarianism, lessened her desirability? Could she be strong, as well, by being chaste? I have watched heroines on TV, the likes of Wonder Woman, Zena the warrior princess, or Super Girl. They never got to as close as kissing. What do you think?Christina Rose wrote: ↑01 Dec 2017, 20:48I think she was a good person at heart.

But I knew, sex is usually used by women to trade favors with men.

I don’t think it lessened jennifer’s desirability, but it did lessen the desirability of the book for many readers. To me, it seemed that for those who did not care much for Jennifer, it was more because of her abandoning her team and lying about her past.ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑01 Dec 2017, 22:03Do you think, Jennifer's libertarianism, lessened her desirability?

Well said. This is too bad, though, as she does seem to have the bravery of a hero.ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑02 Dec 2017, 03:59 Yes, Jennifer does not have the moral fiber of a heroine. Lying is resorted to by some heroes, but that is to benefit the group, and not to fool the group.

On a lighter note, would you like to read about a gun-slinging nun, well-versed in martial arts, who would do the act of saving people? As for me, any woman could become a heroine. I am just apalled by the way some writers build up their characters, perhaps, just to splice in some adult content, the poor heroine was endowed with the morals of an alley cat.Christina Rose wrote: ↑03 Dec 2017, 05:16Well said.

Okay, I think I understand. Her lying in the present moment take away from her heroic personaReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑03 Dec 2017, 18:40 @Christina Rose, it is similar to priests being the heroes, or monks dispensing justice with iron hands. Although heroines with a bad past also merit the pathos of the readers, these usually occur only in cases where such characters do not commit anymore any anomaly at the present time.
