She's a teeny little pale redhead with a soft little-girl voice. She gets a lot of phone calls where the caller asks to talk to her parents. She gets annoyed by this. She's a bit of a badass, attitudewise.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you have to choose one, ita, to rescue you from terrorists: JRM or Adam Brody?
Gack. Gack. Okay, I think I'm rating JRM as colossally useless, but Adam as detrimental. And I'm probably being harsh to JRM and kind to Adam.
JRM it is, then. I mean, he did play Elvis, right?
I know it's not Charisse.
See? It's a conundrum.

Better to go with useless than with detrimental.
Now, if you gave me the same options, without the terrorist and said, "Who would your rather spend an afternoon with?" it might be a different answer. (but maybe not, depending on whether or not running is involved.)

The terrorists and I might bond over his grisly torture and demise. Hell, I'd offer helpful suggestions if I could talk around the gag.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
See. David, you get where I was headed. But I was trying to pull celebrities I actually like in some contexts, as opposed to celebs who are just generally useless and icky.
So, attractive but feckless. Likeable but a flibertigibbet.
Rockstars come to mind.
Prince. I'm sure he's got competencies but he's got so many issues that I don't think I'd want to deal with them in a crisis.
Hmmm. I seem to like people with a base level of competence along with their likeability.
I mean, I'd trust Debra Winger to save me.

If I were with Prince, I'm not sure I'd want to be rescued. Until he was done singing all his songs, which'd be about never.

Yes, well, the scenario is not that Prince has you in his Purple Mansion, but you're in a dodgy cell in out Slugravnia t /Alias and he's trying to break you out. Now, you may be content to lie back and let Goldfinger's laser to bisect you while Prince crooned "Erotic City" in your ear, but I'm thinking you're better off having Viggo waving a sword.

See, I always knew Disney could kill ya.
Generally I like competence over likability. I'd argue that both JRM and Adam Brody are competent at lots of things. Just not rescuing me from terrorists.
Converseley some people who would rock a terrorist rescue would not be competent at the things that JRM can do (namely, smolder and look good in eyeliner) or Adam Brody can do (namely, timely and smart patter).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Come on. I think in that scenario Prince would be obligated to sing Goldfinger's theme song.

ita's not going to lie down and die happily because of a song John Barry wrote.
