Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Actually, given the last book, Martin seems to be taking something of a reverse path on the girly/tomboy thing...Arya's starting to be darker and not quite as "good" anymore(which has been happening for a while) while Sansa is starting to be stronger and smarter.

Jaime is...on the one hand, he probably is the most complex and interesting character, but it doesn't mean he's the BEST character, or one I want a lot of focus on...I like reading about him, but not necessarily HIM...he's more interesting to me as an approach to the legendary hero idea than as a character on his own merit, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, definitely know what you mean re: Jaime. I think my problem with him is that he's changed so much that I don't really recognize him from the Jaime who pushed little kids from windows, and I think Martin's been cheating a little with respect to that.

Yes. I wonder if Jaime was always meant to have the role now, or if it was a later decision. It's like he went from monster with a heroic legend to antihero and Cersei's victim, and I found the first version much more interesting.
