It's been said that, though Bonnie is mean, spiteful, manipulative, and a b-word I'm not allowed to use on these boards, her character is the most human out of all the others on the show. I'm inclined to agree. What does everyone else think? I realize this will probably lead to a back-and-forth, 5-page argument that basically leads us nowhere, but hey, I'm curious.

Truth to be told, while other characters like Monique, Felix and even Shego ('cause let's face it, she is the most realistic villain) are "human", I don't think anyone else can match Bonnie on this. nope.the most human charecter is felix and to a lesser extent kim's mom(personality wise) Felix is realistic, but not THAT much. Not every handicaped boy is that easy-going as him, and even less have a wheelchair like his, let alone any.

Technically, Wally is more realistic...

One of the things I like about Bonnie is that she has both a lot of dimensions and a great deal of unrealised potential. Probably as muc, if not more so than any other caharcter on the show. It's easy to imagine, once high school is fading from view, Bonnie starting to develop and become redeemed, leaving the archetype behind.

That's possible, especially once she gets far away from her sisters

I voted yes, but in all honesty I say her and Mrs. Dr. P are tied for being the most "realistic".

I agree "yes." She's complex, even if she is a witch.

If Bonnie is the most human character of the show, it goes without saying that it bodes very poorly for the human race. Very...poorly[/b].

I don't remember ever meeting a cheerleader/poms girl at my high school who was even remotely as mean/unpleasant as Bonnie is. Most of them actually seemed pretty nice. Even the most popular 'top of the food chain' people never acted like that. None of the 'lower-rung' people I met/hung out with acted that way either.
The only unpleasant people were the jerkoff future criminals.

I dunno. I've met some pretty nasty people in my life. Not necessarily cheerleaders, though. But they do exist.

I was the guy that didn't fall into click's, I got along with everybody, but never hung out with one group in particular. I had my close friends, but no one that I really hated (or hated me). But I saw the "Bonnie's" of our school completely tear people apart for petty things. Unfortunately, I knew the reasons behind their aggressive nature, being the "shoulder to cry on" I spent many hours in the photography darkroom consoling people.
It's amazing the stuff that parents and siblings will put people through. Physical, emotional, and psychological abuse can drive people to do crazy things, and the worst part is, most of them feel horrible after berating someone because they know how it feels, but they are too proud to go say sorry.
I guess that's what makes Bonnie so realistic to me, is the fact that she reminds me of a few people I actually know.

I guess the only truly nasty people I met in high school were ones who did things like rob me and my friends at knifepoint or break into student/facutly cars or beat people up and steal their jewelry/shoes or sold illegal things to other students. I never met any normal, law-abiding high schoolers who acted that scummy towards other people.

Working around so many people and kids in my career has truly shown me how realistic Bonnie is.

Bonnie? The most realistic character in the entire show? Is this somebody's idea of a joke?
Bonnie is a screechingly annoying one-dimensional drama queen, of all the characters in the beginning she's the one that has changed the least. Her only purpose in the show is to get under Kim's skin.
Bonnie, the most realistic, NO. Not by a long shot. In fact she's at the bottom of the list.

I had to put a lot of thought in this, and after thinking, I say yes. I have never met anyone in real life that's like Kim, Ron, Drakken, Shego, etc. But Bonnie, I have known TONS of people like Bonnie. Even though all the characters are archetypes in a way, Bonnie's the only one that embodies an archetype that's based on a real type of person and not a type of character that's often used in many different media. So yes, I say Bonnie is the most realistic.

So who would you say is the most realistic character on the show?
