How's that? As far as I recall she was anything but spoiled, as in that she did not get whatever she wanted but much more kept from it. She got some of what she wanted and even that only when she ran away, which would have to be expected of a child whose father won't let her breathe, so to say. And I recall her thinking wisely deep things like "can I trust in my own heart, or am I just one part of some big plan?", and she understood Upendi means love, and she understood that running away with Kovu would've been wrong choice and told it to Kovu too. I don't see how that makes her a complete dumb-dumb?
Don't get me wrong, I respect your right to have and keep your opinion. I'd just like to know where you're coming from with it. =)
I prefer Kiara. She has more of her own personality than Kopa does. As well as more individual outside appearence. And she's a girl - it was nice to have a story featuring a girl as we already saw one of a boy in TLK. And I also think Kiara is psychologically interesting character. ^^
