No story, just analyses on my favorite fictional characters (plus the occasional real person). Will also feature song lyrics I think fit them because music is my life and there's a song for everything. Multi fandom (duh) Will feature all manner of m...

I've heard a lot of very positive things about Rose, as well as some very negative. And while I certainly don't believe Rose is perfect, I think that for the most part she is an amazing role model and an incredibly well-written character.
Rose from the beginning is an instantly relatable character for us Whovians. She's just a normal 19-year -old girl with a boring job, doing the best she can with what she has, though secretly she longs to get more out of life. (People's biggest complaint about her is that she was kind of a butthole to Mickey once the Doctor came along, but this honestly just makes her more realistic because most of us probably would be guilty of the same. Besides, they wouldn't have made each other happy anyway.) Her adventures with The Doctor, however, reveal that while Rose may be ordinary, she has an extraordinary heart. She is an extremely compassionate person with a deep respect for all life, who shows tremendous empathy to beings who aren't even human. She also is a person of great courage. Perhaps my favorite Rose moment is in "The Parting of the Ways"...
"The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. He showed me that you don't just give up. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what's right, even when everyone else just runs away!"
Iconic.
Rose also isn't afraid to put the Doctor in his place when he's going too far. She keeps him grounded, reminds him of the human part of his personality. I loved this about their relationship, that they reminded each other of the best the other could be. Not to mention that David Tennant and Billie Piper's chemistry is just GOALS.
But despite all of her amazing qualities, Rose always felt incredibly realistic and human. She never felt like they were trying to push some feminist agenda to get more ratings. (This is NOT a Take That at Jodie Whittaker, who I LOVE as the Thirteenth Doctor, more of a Take That at badly written Strong Female Characters in general.) She didn't instantly become capable of over-the-top feats of badassery with no experience whatsoever, but she always tried her best. She was just a well written, relatable and multifaceted heroine that girls of all ages could relate to, and a reminder that no matter how dull your circumstances, you are capable of great things.
