She has very liberal values and a strong sense of feminism, likely due to her forced career choice and the rape of her mother. While searching for a proper role model she found herself in a relationship with. Dr. manhattan although she never felt as equals with him (ch3pg9). She later developed a strong relationship with nite owl. Flaws: she has trouble dealing with personal problems and is closed minded, specifically when she walks out on dr. manhattan, she also has a hard time seeing the bigger picture and focuses on smaller issues. Willing to take action when lives are at stake. Can be defined as an anti-hero with his traditional heroic elements attached. As a child his mother rejected him, giving him a negative view of women.
