User blog comment:Neowitch/757 - The most disappointing female character in all of OP/@comment-9022101-20140820140807/@comment-4493594-20140820150142

I applaud your throughout reasoning and do agree with some of the points. Unfortunately, it doesn't do much to improve my opinion of Rebecca.

Nami, for instance, managed better than Rebecca, despite her village (supposedly) hating her. Mind, not a big mass of anonymous people but people who she actually knew and loved (pretended to) hate her. That's crueler than just your parents' kingdom hating you. And I'm pretty sure nobody taught Nami to fight, unlike Rebecca. Plus, Nami had to work for the guy who killed her mother in front of her. While Rebecca luckily never had to witness her mother's death directly.

As for Vivi, while you are right that she had more support in her quest to uncover Crocodile's plans and stop, nah, kill him, she made it perfectly clear that she was willing to risk her life and stop Crocodile even if she has to do it alone.

But I also agree that Vivi had a reason to fight other than just staying alive and be happy one day, as it is with Rebecca. (which is kinda lame the longer I think about it)

Even with her "no hurting others" morals, if she really wanted/expected somebody to save her, she could at the very least have stalled for time until help arrives. Wait, scratch that, how did she intend to go after Doflamingo with that kind of attitude in the first place?

In my opinion, Rebecca is a pretty inconsistent and weak character. And her lack of development disappoints me.
