And when someone attacks her, I'm totally protective of her because it's almost like an attack on me.

I feel the same way about Riley.

Awww, poor Riley. I think he gets too much flack.

I really try not to say anything that is a flat out attack (discussion is different, naturally) about any chars because out there, there is probably someone who identifies with them and loves them.
