Datu and Pegs I can understand (lots of people have made those cases on here), but what do you have against Riley?

[Chelsea C.]

There is something about Riley that gets under my skin. I don't think I'm the only one because I have another friend who feels similar. No offense intended to the writers, but Riley seems Mary Sue-ish. She can do anything and everything, and she always has a good attitude about it. It's like she's Super Woman. She never truly complains, and when she does, it's not on a believable scale. She doesn't have a lot of depth. I don't see too many flaws with her character other than the fact she doesn't have any--which, to me, it a fairly big flaw. She just doesn't seem real. However, Riley and I have one thing in common...we both dislike Pegs! XD

I'm sure with the progression of the story, we will see more sides to Riley that will hopefully humanize her a little more. I haven't given up on her yet!

However, as I've said in the Favorite Characters thread, grating characters are important to the story, too. It's more realistic. You'd be hard pressed to like everyone in real life. So, even though I dislike Pegs and Datu because they are plain ol' annoying, I can forgive said annoyance because I understand their purpose to the story. They're an added flavor to the stew.

With that said, at this point in time, I can't stand Riley because she's a cookie cutter character thrown in to make everything run smoothly. At least that's the impression I get.

Did you know she's an *Alcoholic?

*Unsubstantiated rumour from my brain.

Now, that would make her interesting wouldn't it? Too bad she's not suffering from withdrawals, otherwise I could believe it :/

Since she left on the mission she's on now, the only thing she's "whined" about was getting a piece of the dock jammed in her foot..and the associated stitches. Lots of hyper nerve endings in the bottom of the human foot. Getting anything stuck in there is highly unpleasant.

Are you talking about the older (and most definitely) whiny Pegs? Pegs v1.0 who flipped out on Riley for hugging Michael?

Grab a Taser!!!!!

And if you truly want her downfall, up the stakes!! Come on! Full on medieval torture! Screw the taser! Lets get us an Iron Maiden and make it interesting!
