@Zena and Nib because I'm too lazy to quote all that: to play the devil's advocate, I'd say that both character types are appealing to fangirls for opposite reasons. On one hand yeah, fans adore the liked of Steven and Wirt. On the other, Draco in Leather Pants is a trope for a reason. Adorkable nice-guys and troubled-but-cute bad boys appeal to opposite sides of the spectrum.

That aside, onto one of my nerds: with Griselle Damgaard being the daughter of The Ugly Duckling, I worry that people see her skin condition as something that makes her "ugly" -- which couldn't be further from the truth. Let it be known that she's neither beautiful "in spite" of her vitiligo nor is she ugly "because" of it (and you might have to check your ableism if you believe that's the case). if anything about her that's less than appealing, it's the fact that she's a bit of a self-guarded egg that refuses to hatch. Not that she's a complete thornprick, but I'll save that mischaracterization-rant for a post on a rainy day. :P
