What do you love most about Rose Hathaway? Why?

I love the fact that she grows in the series- to begin with, she is this firey, trigger-happy teenager and by the end of it, she is strong, mature,and, as her father said, by 18 she had been accused of murder, aided felons and acquired a death count higher than most guardians would ever see.

very true, i agree!

True, but I still like the happy, temper losing teenager part of her.

Yeah i like the temper losing side of her also

Rose can be such a dog, but in a.... nice way.

I love Rose, she is very likeable and human. You immediately feel as if you know her, and yet she keeps surprising you.

I totally agree with you. Rose and Lissa are completely the opposite, yet, they're best friends.

Mostly because Rose called her teacher a fascist bastard when she was five and hit her on the head with a book. Hard.

I feel like doing that to my sister now.

Don't we all. Only I feel like doing that to my mother.

gasp.

Hannah, i think you need to re-read the rules and go on google translate.

Hmm, we still need to find out a foreign word for bastard....

Zmey, it doesn't mean bastard as such but it's sorta like cyka- it covers a lot of things.

Ok, we'll go with Zmey.

Em, I wrote the rules and that is hardly a swear word. Anyway, I was swearing in American English, not New Zealand English.
