One would assume, that Amy Manson would want to garner sympathy for Merida. Similar to Liam Garrigan's portrayal of Arthur, which is layered and complex. Though, Liam is far more talented an actor than Amy.

At the end of the day, OUaT really just needs to stop with the gender-biased double standard. Merida's bad attitude and actions do not deserved to be rewarded. She is not brave, nor is she heroic. She is an insecure bully, who picks on those less fortunate. Gold is a coward who has done deplorable things, but no one deserves to be treated that way.
