I don't even mind her moping about the crush, but I want her to have some other characteristics. Actually, anything that stands out.

Mr. Mousie's view is that the only good companions are the ones who are colorful with issues or stupid because it makes for fun. I haven't seen enough of all of Dr Who to comment, but I do think my biggest problem with Martha is that she is well-adjusted, well-behaved. There is just not much to grab on there.

I mean, if a crush is her biggest problem? Outside of someone like De Stael's 'Corinne,' it's hardly an intensely-serious-sympathetic feeling which leads the sufferer to keel over.
