I don't think there is anything cute about sexual assault, and the fact that Mat developed some weird kind of affection for her was probably one of the most sickening things in the series.
Elayne. She is the most selfish character in the whole series, imo. She left her country in chaos because she somehow thought she just HAD to be running around with Egwene and Nynaeve. I can't begin to express the complete disgust I have for Elayne. No emoji is sufficient. Just. no.
