Can you imagine spending ten years -ten years- of your life playing a character who is basically the first woman to be a protagonist fantasy ruler in a major cultural touchstone, who gets to be the hero, the good person who struggles with hard and bad choices? Can you imagine having that weight on you? Of holding that icon on your shoulders, with all it means to so many people? To pour your life into that? To experience what it means personally to your family? To your friends? To yourself?

And then having it torn out from under you by some jackasses who make your character into a monster for a Twist™.
