In the famed and beloved "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, most of the Pevensie kids get a lot of attention. Lucy for being the bravest and most courageous despite her age and being a girl, Edmund for his initial betrayal and eventual character development, and of course, Peter for being the oldest, the head of the Pevensie gang, and the leader of Aslan's army. But one Pevensie is often forgotten: Susan. Here's some reasons why Susan is the most underrated, but perhaps greatest Pevensie.
1. She loves books and word games
In the first movie, the gang has just escaped the war and arrived at the professor's house. Susan is shown playing some sort of word game that everyone else finds boring. As a lover of books and words, this is one of the first things that made me realize how great Susan is.
2. She is driven by logic
She thinks with rationale. When Lucy is talking about Narnia, Susan insists against its existence.3. She takes on the role of a mother
When the 4 are forced to leave their mother, Peter takes the leadership role, but so does Susan. She always gives her siblings helpful reminders, scolds them if needed, and takes control when the situation demands.4. She's rational
Sometimes it seems she's the only one doing any thinking.5. She always tries to do what is right
Her logic leads her to morality.
6. She is always "trying to be smart" according to Peter
Peter may have meant this negatively, but what's wrong with having brains?7. She's always there to administer a dose of reality
8. She carries the burdens of of othersWhen Peter tried to say it was his fault that Edmund went astray, Susan insisted it was because of all of them, not just Peter.
9. She can be cynical, boring, and too realistic, but she recognizes her faults
She apologizes to Lucy for the way she is and always tries to improve herself.
