Me:
I was actually desturbed by athletic, spunky, fiestiness. This might 
be the result of reading too much fanfic, but Ginny just seemed way 
too perfect. She's darring, encuraging, popular, open, plays 
Quidditch, and is shirty at all the right moments. She's probably 
smart and pretty too. She seems like too much of a construct made for 
the hero, like Mara Jade or Arwen.
