Well. Matilda believes firmly (for obvious reasons) that children under ten should be given every opportunity to behave like adults, and loaded with adult responsibilities if they prove they can take it. Naturally I don't share this view, because there are no real Matildas, and it would go badly in anything other than her particular special case. But I find myself completely able to argue on her side, because she is the special case and a seven-year-old competently debating philosophy is a pretty good argument by example in its own right.

Raz... um, 'scuse me a moment. *giggles helplessly in a corner* Right. Raz believes that sex solves everything, except for the things that are solved by violence instead. This is lovely in theory, but if she had the mental coherence to actually argue in favour of it I would facepalm a LOT in the course of the discussion.

Imriel doesn't argue, but when he does, he and I are pretty clearly aligned. I do tend to pick up characters who agree with me about things (ignore the great big box of elsegame serial killers behind the curtain).
