You're welcome! I hear you about Mandy's characterization in most fanfic. That's what inspired this piece, to be honest!

Actually, I think Mandy would have been a great character if someone other than Moira Kelly was playing her. Not that I have anything against Moira Kelly, because I like her, but Mandy is a tough character. She needed to be played by someone with a lot of charm and charisma. Moira's Mandy was nothing but abrasive which made her difficult to like.
