The lightest? Urm... huh. I have several characters that I like, but all those characters seem destined for a Bad End. I think I shall stop where I am and cut my losses. Or just watch the show, eventually.

Thank you for your thoughts on that! I really don't mind dark, terrible angst, as long as there is a light at the end of the tunnel, such as in the Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold. Her characters get taken to some horrible, horrible places, but when the light comes again, it's always completely awesome. :)
