Which female character in ROTI do you think was better developed than her? Certainly wasn't Staci, Dawn, or Anne Maria. And Zoey is just a bad character in general with abysmal development. That only leaves Jo, who was a pretty one-dimensional bully, in my opinion. The closet thing she got to development was in "A Mine is a Terrible Thing to Waste" when she regretted never kissing a boy when she thought she was going to die. That was pretty much the only other side to her character we ever saw.

So, yeah, I do think Dakota had the best development out of any of ROTI's female characters.
