Anita tries too hard to prove herself. I understand that she wants to be seen as capable in a man's world but, sometimes, it's too extreme. And I'm not too sure I like some traits that Laurell's books have at the moment.

Sookie isn't all powerful, she screws up and admits it. But she still is tough enough to do what she thinks it right.

I think that's one reason I like Harry in the Dresden Files. He's tough, but when he screws up, he REALLY screws up.
