Sorry guys, the spelling was correct. I was referring to a whiny teenager and not a horse. I happen to have a lot of respect for that old mare. As for the comparison I made, I wasn't making light of Kaladin's situation. Yes, he was given the short straw more than once and has suffered many a tragedy. However, instead of digging deep and fighting to the best of his ability he gave up and moped on more than one occasion which is exactly what Bella did. It's also why I can't stand Bella.
That being said, the fact that Kaladin did eventually get up off his butt earned my respect. That he took so long to do it is the reason why he's not my favorite character. He's still in my top 5, but he falls short of Dalinar.
