a realization

[coraa]

One of the things that keeps me reading Diane Duane's Young Wizard books, even though the quality varies some after the (excellent) first couple, is my profound hunger for books featuring protagonists who are responsible and kind.

Pratchett's Tiffany Aching is also a good one, though the story arch is now finished.

Oh yes! On both counts! I'd forgotten Tiffany, and she very much is.

In their own ways, several of Pratchett's characters are like that. Carrot is a parody of 'responsible and kind,' of course. Angua is, too, in her own weird way. Lady Sybil.

And, of course, Granny Weatherwax.
