See, on the old board, me and Ayezur were talking about Alice Johnson from Nightmare on Elm Street 4 & 5, and Ayezur said that Alice couldn't pull off being perfect in a way that makes us like her, like Nancy. And that makes me think that perhaps it's not beauty and brains and loveliness that I object to, but whether or not I can see the OFC as a *character* - and by that, I mean someone who has a life outside of the canon, and their own personality and their own way of talking and moving and reacting. Someone who had a life *before* they started screwing their canonical love interest.

Yeah. That was coherent.
