Do you like any others?
Not really. I like Petunia, kind of (but it's very mild compared to the two I just mentioned). I used to have a much bigger crush on her, but for some reason I've been getting less and less interested in Petunia. It's probably the fact that she's a skunk who is obsessed with cleaning and has severe freakouts in some episodes, I found all those things to be a bit off putting. Stacy's a skunk too, but she doesn't look like one (I don't think so at least).

I meant other shows.

What can I say. I'm a guy who's attracted to Happy Tree Friends characters. It's probably because right now, I barely watch any animated shows to begin with (I watch The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and Robot Chicken but I'm not attracted to strangely drawn yellow people or dolls and on Bob's Burgers the majority of female characters are underage).

I've got a question:Like I've mentioned before, Giggles is usually an extremely sweet girl (and in all of the canon episode she is). But there a few fanon ones where she gets a little more brutal with her actions. She's certainly never Maleficent or anything, but her behavior will sometimes becomes a little edgier than the sweet girl we know in the real show. Here's where my question comes in........is it normal that I like the moments when she acts out of characters? Maybe it's the shock factor of it or maybe it's because I like the idea of her being tough and actually defending herself, but those moments always seem to make my crush on the character grow even more. I'm just curious to whether this is normal or not.
I think I figured out why I feel this this way. I recently read a fanfic where she flips out and attacks Cuddles. Rather than being offended that somebody would portray her that way, I felt the opposite:It made me feel more respect towards the character. After thinking a bit about why I feel that way towards her more action-y scenes, I've come to this conclusion. Just because she's fictional doesn't mean she's flawless. Everybody in this world has done at least one bad thing in their life and fictional characters should be no exception. It makes me feel that way because I got tired of them always portraying her as some angel who never does anything bad and is a complete sweetheart all around, it doesn't feel right to me for anyone (whether real or made up) to be completely perfect. So seeing her do some things she probably isn't proud of makes her feel more real. It makes her seem more human despite being a cartoon chipmunk who used to be just as perky as Laa-Laa from Teletubbies. Plus, they've never shown her doing anything too bad in the canon or fanon episodes. She's not a villain by any stretch of the imagination, just a human-like character who makes mistakes but learns from them. You'd never see her blow up Alderaan, try to kill He-Man, dress up like a clown and punch some innocent guy in a bat costume, or feed a poisonous apple to a princess like actual villain characters have done in the past (Darth Vader, Skeletor, The Joker, and The Wicked Queen respectively), but seeing my sweet little Giggles occasionally act out of character is a good thing, at least in my opinion.
