being useless is a whole nother type of shame. there is no such thing as a "spoiled" neglected child. when she found herself in the woods, alone, convinced she was going to die 'out there by herself' even though the camp was 2 minutes away and falling asleep on some stump, i was there with her

she's frequently described as a child that would have burned the village down to feel an inch of warmth herself. i wish she'd kept an inkling of that rather than turning into casca's pretty babysitter with a crush on guts. why does she have no character beyond conviction besides the marriage arc
