Where do I start? Oh, yeah! Good grief, Haley can NOT be that perfect all the time. Even if in the end she freaks...

"Terrible"

By 13avatar13, Jun 21, 2007

An older sibling, Jake in this case, has been doing something for a while and it's his thing. The younger sibling, Haley, bumps her way into his thing and steals every spotlight and all attention from the one who's worked harder and longer. I really hate things happening like this. It annoys me beyond belief. That a younger sibling that is perfect at EVERYTHING would bump her way into her brother's spotlight and "thing" gets on my ever-lasting nerve. I don't like the fact that Haley is made out to be a know-it-all, perfect, angel is annoying in the first place, but to see her have everything come so easy to her (especially something like dragon powers/training) is painful to my eyes. It's not right that someone younger should be so perfect. Haley has always been an annoying character to me. She shouldn't be made out to be so perfect. She sort of reminds me of a Mary Sue.

One thing I did like about it was seeing Haley struggle with her powers; even if it was because of the stuff Jake gave her. For her to finally realize that not everything should come so easy made my day...moreless
