13. My point was that the writer doesn't always let you in that right away. :P Take Misha from Pitaten for example; that is probably the most pink, bubbly, ditzy character you can ever imagine in a series. However, it's revealed later that she's had a somewhat dark past. There are scenes where she even drops her ditzy-ness completely, acting like a regular person, revealing that it's all just an act. However, it feels like I was the only one ever that realized from the beginning that she was probably trying to hide something, since usually when a character is that ditzy, there's more to them then just that (at least this is how I view these kind of character). If there's not, then oh well, but people tend to view characters in a one-dimensional fashion instead of thinking they could ever be more then just a daydreaming face -- and even worse, tend to hate these type of characters straight away because of that assumption, and because "OMG, ETERNALLY DITZY POINTLESS CHARACTER THAT WILL NEVER EVER COME TO FRUIT = . ME WANT STRONG SILENT EMO CHARACTER WITH HARDLY ANY LINES, ME SMASH, RAWR."

Wow, I type a lot. XD Anyway, that was my point.

Well I do totally agree with your point that it's stupid to dismiss happy characters simply because they're happy. And it is true that those very same happy characters could be laughing on the outside and crying on the inside to quote from an old song.

It was just that your second paragraph seemed to imply that ALL happy appearing characters were hiding painful pasts and that's not necessarily so. But it seems we are in total agreement about your main point.
