you hate cassie more than the auxilaries? do you hate cassie that much?
Because as far as I'm concerned, Cassie is to blame for Rachel's Death.
If She hadn't prevented Jake from killing Tom, the Yeerks wouldn't have gotten the Efascil Device.
And, to quote the "things the animorphs would never say" topic, I get tired of her tree-hugging bull****.
I cast blame more on Eric than Cassie for Rachel's death. Her job was to make sure Tom wasn't taken. That the Yeerk didn't get away. If the Blade Ship was shot down, Rachel may have not been needed.
Of course, this goes back to there being several ways of writing the ending to realistically allow all the main characters we all know and love to live through the war. And have reasonably normal lives afterwards.
But I also hold it against Cassie for giving the box to the Yeerks. The general idea of letting Yeerks become nothlits to escape the war was an ok idea, but unconditionally giving the escafil device to them was stupid.
I didn't list the auxilaries in my first post, but I'd probably tie them with Cassie. I didn't really know enough about them to strongly like or dislike them. I might have even put them above Cassie, just because I didn't have any negative feelings against them.
David would be below Cassie, though.
